Abstract

To provide an information processing device capable of securing the fairness of a lottery while suppressing the worst consumption risk in a computer game for making the lottery a game component.SOLUTION: A basic lottery that is a lottery in which winning probability is allocated to each character used in a game and acquires a character with consumption of a game point as a condition is executed. The upper limit number of times of execution frequency is changed by designation by a player or according to the attribute of the player. The execution frequency reaches the upper limit number of times, the player is provided with a prescribed character. Also, the more the upper limit number of times is largely set, the more advantageous character is provided to the player. Various conditions for providing a character can be defined other than the reaching of the upper limit number of times of the execution frequency.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6

Description

  The present invention relates to a computer game, and more particularly, to a lottery control method for giving a privilege to a player.

  There is a game in which a player collects various characters and causes the opponent team to compete with each other's possessed characters. Characters have various abilities, and some characters are easy to obtain, while others are difficult to obtain (hereinafter, referred to as “rare characters”).

  A typical method for acquiring a character is a lottery (restoration extraction method) that can be executed by consuming game points (included in game elements). In this lottery (restoration extraction method), the lottery probability is the same each time. Since the rare character winning probability is set low, even if a large amount of game points are consumed, a desired rare character is not always obtained. For example, even a rare character having a winning probability of 1% (1/100) is not necessarily obtained by executing the lottery 100 times. In the lottery, there is a risk that the consumption of game points for obtaining a rare character becomes larger than expected (hereinafter, referred to as “worst worst consumption risk”).

  Patent Literature 1 proposes a method of increasing the winning probability of a character instead of lowering the attribute value (level) of the character. Patent Literature 2 proposes a method of performing lottery from a character group (population) by non-restoration extraction instead of restoration extraction.

Japanese Patent No. 5829346 JP 2013-247977 A

  The lottery method of Patent Document 1 can increase the possibility of obtaining a rare character, but does not fundamentally eliminate the worst consumption risk.

  With the lottery method (non-restoration extraction type) of Patent Document 2, the worst consumption risk can be avoided. However, there is another problem that it is difficult to set the winning probability of a rare character low. For example, in the case of a lottery box containing 50 characters (1 rare character), the theoretical maximum number of lottery executions (hereinafter, referred to as “worst number”) for obtaining a rare character is 50 times. However, the probability of winning a rare character cannot be set to 2% (1/50) or less. On the other hand, if the lottery box contains 5000 characters, the winning probability of a rare character can be reduced to 0.02% (1/5000), but the worst number is 5,000.

  The present invention has been completed based on the recognition of the above-mentioned problems, and a main object of the present invention is to provide a mechanism for securing the fairness of a lottery while suppressing the worst consumption risk.

An information processing device according to the present invention includes a game execution unit that controls the progress of a game based on a game content held by a player, and a lottery in which a winning probability is assigned to each game content. The game machine includes a basic lottery execution unit that executes a basic lottery as a condition, and a setting unit that changes a consumption amount of a game element required to satisfy a predetermined condition in accordance with a player.
When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the basic lottery execution unit provides a more advantageous privilege to the player as the consumption amount increases.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, it becomes easy to maintain the fairness of a lottery, suppressing the worst consumption risk.

It is a data structure diagram of a character information storage part. It is a data structure figure of a lottery setting storage part. It is a screen figure of an upper limit selection screen. It is a flowchart which shows the processing process of a basic lottery. It is a data structure figure of a count setting storage part. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram for explaining a method of exchanging count values. It is a correlation diagram which summarized the main mutual influence relation of various parameters.

  After briefly describing the outline of the computer game shown in the present embodiment, a specific configuration and control method of the game system 100 will be described.

  The player has a plurality of characters (game contents). Then, the player battles the character of the opponent team. The other party may be a computer or another player connected via a communication network. If you win the battle, you can earn game points (game elements). Characters have strengths, but the level increases as they compete. A character that has reached the maximum level further evolves into a more powerful character by being combined with another character (hereinafter, referred to as a “material character”). The player tries to level up this character again. The character is strengthened by repeating level up and evolution.

  The character can be obtained in a battle, or can be obtained by lottery (hereinafter, referred to as “basic lottery” to distinguish it from other lotteries). Each time the basic lottery is executed, game points are consumed. In the basic lottery according to the present embodiment, one or more characters are randomly restored and extracted from a lottery target including many characters. In the basic lottery according to the present embodiment, one or more characters are restored and extracted based on the lottery probability set for the character.

The upper limit number (threshold) is set in the basic lottery. When the number of times the basic lottery is executed, more specifically, when the count value that changes according to the number of times of execution reaches the upper limit number (hereinafter referred to as “establishment of settlement conditions”), a predetermined character (hereinafter “ceiling character”) Is provided unconditionally. As the ceiling character, a character with a high rarity to some extent is assumed. The player can reliably acquire the ceiling character when the count value reaches the upper limit number while expecting to obtain the rare character by the basic lottery.
With such a control method, the worst consumption risk of the ceiling character is suppressed.

[First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a hardware configuration diagram of the game system 100.
In the game system 100, a game server 102 and a plurality of game terminals 104 a, 104 b, 104 c,... 104 n (hereinafter collectively referred to as “game terminals 104” when collectively referred to or not particularly distinguished) via the Internet 106. Connected. The game terminal 104 in the present embodiment is assumed to be a smartphone. The game terminal 104 may be a portable game machine or a general-purpose computer such as a laptop PC. The game terminal 104 and the Internet 106 are wirelessly connected, but may be wired. A unique ID called a player ID is assigned to a player of the game in advance. The game server 102 provides a game to each game terminal 104.

FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the game system 100.
As described above, the game system 100 includes the game server 102 and the game terminal 104. Each component of the game terminal 104 and the game server 102 includes an arithmetic unit such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and various coprocessors, a storage device such as a memory and a storage, and hardware including a wired or wireless communication line connecting them.

  The game server 102 includes a communication unit 110, a data processing unit 107, and a data storage unit 108. The communication unit 110 handles communication processing with the game terminal 104 via the Internet 106. The data storage unit 108 stores various data. The data processing unit 107 performs various processes based on the data acquired by the communication unit 110 and the data stored in the data storage unit 108. The data processing unit 107 also functions as an interface between the communication unit 110 and the data storage unit 108.

  The data storage unit 108 includes a game program storage unit 142, a player information storage unit 130, a character information storage unit 132, a lottery setting storage unit 134, and a count setting storage unit 136. The game program storage unit 142 stores a game program. The player information storage unit 130 manages player information (described later with reference to FIG. 3). The character information storage unit 132 manages character information (described later with reference to FIG. 4). The lottery setting storage unit 134 manages the setting information of the basic lottery (described later with reference to FIG. 5). The count setting storage unit 136 manages information on the count setting of the number of lotteries (described later with reference to FIG. 8).

The data processing unit 107 includes a game execution unit 112 and a lottery execution unit 114. The game execution unit 112 controls the basic progress of the game. The game execution unit 112 determines winning or losing when fighting an enemy character according to the attribute value (ability) of the character possessed by the player. The game execution unit 112 determines superiority or inferiority based on a difference or a combination of the attribute value of the character presented by the player and the attribute value of the enemy character, and determines a character win / loss based on the superiority / decoration while adding randomness. I do. Such a winning / losing determination method can be realized by applying an existing technology.
The lottery execution unit 114 executes various lotteries including the basic lottery.

  The lottery execution unit 114 includes a basic lottery execution unit 118, a settlement setting unit 116, and a lottery counting unit 140. The basic lottery execution unit 118 executes a basic lottery. In the basic lottery, a character to be provided to the player is randomly selected from a lottery target (population) including a plurality of characters.

The basic lottery execution unit 118 selects a ceiling character to be provided to the player when the number of times of execution of the basic lottery reaches the upper limit number. The settlement setting unit 116 sets an upper limit number (upper limit value). The lottery counting unit 140 counts the number of executions of the basic lottery, and updates a count value (described later) corresponding to the number of executions. The lottery counting unit 140 includes a replacement unit 144 that manages a count value exchange rate.
Details of the lottery execution unit 114 will be described later.

  The game terminal 104 includes a U / I (user interface) unit 122, a communication unit 124, a data processing unit 126, and a data storage unit 128. The U / I unit 122 is responsible for processing related to a user interface, such as receiving an operation from the player and displaying an image or outputting a sound. The communication unit 124 performs communication processing with the game server 102 and other game terminals 104 via the Internet 106. The data storage unit 128 stores various data. The data processing unit 126 executes various processes based on data acquired by the U / I unit 122 and the communication unit 124 and data stored in the data storage unit 128. The data processing unit 126 also functions as an interface between the U / I unit 122, the communication unit 124, and the data storage unit 128.

  The communication unit 124 acquires various game information from the game server 102, and the data processing unit 126 causes the U / I unit 122 to display a game screen. The U / I unit 122 detects various inputs by the player, and the data processing unit 126 notifies the game server 102 of the input information via the communication unit 124. According to the input information, the data processing unit 107, in particular, the game execution unit 112 controls the progress of the game.

FIG. 3 is a data structure diagram of the player information storage unit 130.
The player is identified by the player ID. The player information storage unit 130 manages the attributes of each player (hereinafter, referred to as “player attributes”) and the progress of the game. In the computer game according to the present embodiment, a plurality of types of basic lottery are provided. For example, a player with a player ID of P001 (hereinafter referred to as “player (P001)”) is 40 years old and has 12,000 game points. The player (P001) is executing three basic lotteries of basic lotteries 1-3. The player (P002) is 17 years old and has 4,500 game points. The player (P002) also executes the three basic lotteries 1 to 3.

  In the first embodiment, the number of times the basic lottery is executed and the count value have the same meaning. In the second embodiment, the number of executions and the count value do not always match, but this will be described in detail later.

Regarding the player (P001), the upper limit number of the basic lottery 1 is set to 40 times, and the number of executions (count value) is 25 times. That is, the player (P001) can acquire the ceiling character by executing the basic lottery 1 another 15 times. On the other hand, the upper limit number of the basic lottery 3 is set to 80 times, and the count value is 6 times. The player (P001) cannot acquire the ceiling character unless the basic lottery 3 is executed 65 times more.
When the count value of the basic lottery reaches the upper limit, the count value is reset to zero. The upper limit number is a break (milestone) of the basic lottery, and does not mean that the basic lottery can be executed only until the upper limit number is reached. There is no limit to the number of executions of the basic lottery, unless a limit number described below is set.

On the other hand, for the player (P002), the upper limit of the basic lottery 1 is set to 30 times, which is different from the setting of the player (P001). Similarly, for the player (P002), the upper limit number of the basic lottery 2 is set to 50 times, which is also different from the setting of the player (P001).
In the present embodiment, the upper limit number of times changes according to the player. A method of setting the upper limit number according to the player will be described later.

FIG. 3 shows player attributes and holding states. Although age is exemplified as an example of the player attribute, in addition to the above, for a predetermined period, for example, the consumption amount of the game points in the last month, the rank indicating the player's game proficiency, the play time, the number of login days, the sex, the place of residence, the means Various information such as occupations may be registered.
As an example of the possession state, the possessed game points are illustrated, but various other information such as the number and type of possessed characters and items may be registered.

FIG. 4 is a data structure diagram of the character information storage unit 132.
Characters are identified by character IDs. The character information storage unit 132 manages attributes of each character. The character is given a rare rank. The rare rank is obtained by previously indexing the difficulty of acquiring the character and the height (character strength) of a parameter (attribute value) set for the character. The higher the rare rank, the harder it is to obtain, and generally the stronger the character.
A character with a high rare rank is a “rare character”.

  The character (C0001) has a rare rank of 1, and the winning probability in the basic lottery is set to a relatively high probability of 10%. The default value of the hit point (physical strength) of the character (C0001) is 10. The level of a character is raised by repeating a battle or by combining a character as a material, and the attribute value of the character advantageously changes for the player as the level increases. For example, the higher the level of the character (C0001), the higher the hit point.

The maximum level (master level) of the character (C0001) is 50. When the character (C0001) reaches the maximum level, the maximum hit point is 30. The character (C0001) is upgraded only up to level 50. For example, if the same type of character (C0001) or a predetermined character (item) is synthesized as a material, the character (C0001) becomes a stronger character (C0005). Evolve).
Even a weak character can be evolved into a more powerful character by raising it to the maximum level and combining it with a material character (material item) necessary for evolution.

  The character (C0005) has a rare rank of 2, and the winning probability in the basic lottery is set to 8%. That is, the character (C0005) is a character having a higher rare rank and a lower winning probability (higher rarity) than the character (C0001) before evolution. The initial value of the hit point of the character (C0005) is 50. The character (C0005) is an evolution of the character (C0001), has a high rarity (rare rank), and has an attribute value (hit point) that is advantageously changed for the player.

The character (C0005) can evolve in two types. When the character (C0003) is synthesized as a material character, the character (C0005) evolves into a character (C0011). On the other hand, when the character (C0012) is synthesized as the material character, the character (C0005) evolves into the character (C0024).
Both the character (C0011) and the character (C0024) are more powerful characters than the character (C0005).

  No material character is registered for the character (C0004). Therefore, even if the character (C0004) reaches the maximum level, it cannot be further evolved.

Although the winning probability is shown as a unique value in FIG. 3, it may be set as a value having a wide range such as 7 to 12%. For example, the winning probability of the character (C0001) in the basic lottery 1 may be set to 8%, and in another basic lottery 2, the winning probability may be set to 12%. The winning probability may be changed according to another parameter such as the upper limit number.
In FIG. 4, hit points are illustrated as attributes of the character, but other attributes such as attack power, defense power, agility, and magic may be set within a common sense.

FIG. 5 is a data structure diagram of the lottery setting storage unit 134.
The basic lottery is identified by the lottery ID. The lottery setting storage unit 134 manages the setting conditions of each basic lottery. Regarding the basic lottery (L01), four types of upper limit times of 50, 80, 100 and 150 can be set as the upper limit times. In the basic lottery (L01) when the upper limit number is 50 (hereinafter referred to as “basic lottery (L01: 50)”), the character (C0002) is set as the only ceiling character. The rare rank of the character (C0002) is 4 (see FIG. 4).

  When the character (C0002) is acquired as the ceiling character, the level of the character (C0002) is initially set to 1. In the basic lottery (L01: 50), only one type of ceiling character is available, and only one ceiling character (C0002) can be acquired. In the basic lottery (L01: 50), any one of the characters having a character ID in the range of C0001 to C0500 is randomly selected by the restoration extraction method.

  In the basic lottery (L01: 80) when the upper limit number is 80, two characters, a character (C0002) and a character (C0013), are set as ceiling characters. Both have a rare rank of 4. In the basic lottery (L01: 80), there are two types of ceiling characters, and the number of ceiling characters that can be acquired (hereinafter, referred to as “acquirable number”) is two.

  The level of the ceiling character (C0002) is initially set to 1, and the level of the ceiling character (C0013) is initially set to 3. In the basic lottery (L01: 80), any one of the characters having a character ID in the range of C0001 to C0500 is randomly selected by the restoration extraction method.

  Since the basic lottery (L01: 80) has a larger upper limit number of times than the basic lottery (L01: 50), the consumption of game points until the ceiling character is acquired (hereinafter referred to as “payment consumption”) is large. Become. Instead, in the basic lottery (L01: 80), the number and level of ceiling characters are set to be more advantageous than in the basic lottery (L01: 50).

In addition to the type of ceiling character, the number of ceiling characters that can be acquired, and the initial setting level, the advantage may be controlled by the evolution of the ceiling character. For example, the ceiling character of the basic lottery (L01: 80) and the basic lottery (L01: 50) are both characters (C0002), but the basic lottery (L01: 80) is not the character (C0002) but an evolution of the character. (C0008) may be obtained (see FIG. 4).
Alternatively, there is a possibility that the character (C0008) can be acquired even in the basic lottery (L01: 50), but the character (C0008) may be acquired with a higher probability in the basic lottery (L01: 80).

  In the basic lottery (L01: 100), any character is randomly selected from the character group whose character ID is in the range of C0001 to C0400 by the restoration extraction method. In the basic lottery (L01: 150), any character is randomly selected by a restoration extraction method from a character group whose character ID is in the range of C0600 to C1200.

  The character to be drawn (population) may be changed according to the upper limit number of times. The character group included in C0600 to C1200 may be set to have a higher possibility of acquiring a rare character than the character group included in C0001 to C0400, or may be included only in the character range of C0600 to C1200. You may set a rare character of a rare degree.

  The balance between cost and return by changing the type and number of ceiling characters, the level at the time of acquisition, the number of obtainable characters, and the range of characters to be drawn according to the maximum number of times, in other words, according to the settlement consumption, Can be adjusted.

  A list of ceiling characters that can be obtained by the basic lottery is called a “privilege list”. Only the character (C0002) is registered in the privilege list of the basic lottery (L01: 50), and the character (C0019), character (C0020), character (C0021) and character (C0021) are registered in the privilege list of the basic lottery (L01: 150). Four characters (C0050) are registered.

When the count value (the number of executions) reaches the upper limit number, the basic lottery execution unit 118 displays the privilege list and the obtainable number to the player via the U / I unit 122. The player selects an arbitrary number of characters from the ceiling characters registered in the privilege list as many as possible. When the basic lottery (L01: 150) is executed, two characters can be selected from the character (C0019), the character (C0020), the character (C0021), and the character (C0050). On the other hand, the ceiling character when the basic lottery (L01: 50) is executed has no room for selection, and the character (C0002) is provided.
Note that the privilege list is not limited to when the count value reaches the upper limit number, and may be displayed to the player before reaching the upper limit number. It may be displayed before the upper limit number is determined, or may be displayed at a predetermined timing after setting the upper limit number, specifically, a predetermined time after the determination of the upper limit number, or even when the execution number is displayed at the predetermined number. Good.

At the time of the basic lottery (L01: 150), the lottery execution unit 114 may randomly select two characters from the ceiling characters registered in the privilege list.
The lottery execution unit 114 may determine whether to make the player select a character from the privilege list or randomly determine the character by a sub-lottery. The probability of the sub-lottery may be set so that the player has a greater selection right as the upper limit number is larger, in other words, as the settlement consumption amount is larger.

  A plurality of types of privilege lists may be set for one type of maximum number of times. For example, the privilege list 1 and the privilege list 2 may be set for the basic lottery (L01: 100), and the lottery executing unit 114 may randomly select one of them. According to such a control method, it is not possible to know what character will be obtained when the upper limit number of times is reached, so that the player's expectation can be easily increased.

  Similarly, when the upper limit number of times is specified, the lottery execution unit 114 may randomly select any one of a plurality of types of character ranges. For example, the character range 1 and the character range 2 may be set for the basic lottery (L01: 100), and the lottery execution unit 114 may randomly select one of them. Then, a basic lottery may be executed using the selected character range as a population.

FIG. 6 is a screen diagram of the upper limit selection screen 120.
When the player instructs the execution of the basic lottery, the basic lottery executing unit 118 displays an upper limit selection screen 120 on the screen of the game terminal 104. On the upper limit selection screen 120, 50, 80, 100, 150, and 200 times are shown as the upper limit times.
According to the upper limit selection screen 120 shown in FIG. 6, the rare rank of the ceiling character provided when the upper limit number is 50 is 4. When the upper limit is 80, two rare rank 4 characters are provided as ceiling characters. The player selects the upper limit number of times while considering the amount of settlement (cost) of the game points required to reach the upper limit number and the type and number (return) of the ceiling character obtained when the upper limit number is reached.

In the upper limit selection screen 120 of FIG. 6, the upper limit number is a selection formula from five types, but the player may be able to manually select an arbitrary number as the upper limit number, such as 55 or 56 times.
The lottery execution unit 114 may randomly select one of the upper limit times from a plurality of types of upper limit times.

  When the number of times of execution of the basic lottery (count value) reaches the upper limit number, the “payment condition” is satisfied, and the ceiling character is provided. The settlement condition is not limited to the count value and the upper limit number of times. For example, the settlement condition may be satisfied when the game point consumption amount at the time of performing the basic lottery reaches a predetermined threshold value. Further, a threshold may be set for the consumption speed of the game points. When the consumption of the game points per unit time, for example, 5 minutes, reaches a predetermined threshold, the settlement condition may be satisfied. Such a threshold (time and amount) may be selected or set by the player.

The player may select a desired character, and set a settlement condition such as an upper limit number of times according to the character. For example, when performing a basic lottery in which the character 1 is included in the lottery target (population) or a basic lottery in which the character 1 is the ceiling character, an upper limit number of times previously associated with the character 1 may be set.
Further, the upper limit number (payment condition) may be changed according to whether or not the player has the character 1, the number of possession of the character 1, the number of evolutions of the character 1, and the like.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the basic lottery process.
When the player instructs the game terminal 104 to execute any of the basic lotteries, the game terminal 104 transmits an instruction to execute the basic lottery to the game server 102. The basic lottery execution unit 118 displays the upper limit selection screen 120, and the settlement setting unit 116 sets the upper limit number (UL) according to the player's input (S10).

  The basic lottery execution unit 118 resets the count value (c) indicating the number of executions to zero (S12). The basic lottery execution unit 118 refers to the lottery setting storage unit 134, executes a basic lottery based on the setting conditions (S14), and the lottery counting unit 140 increments the count value (c) (S16).

  If the count value (c) has not reached the upper limit number (UL) (N of S18), the process returns to S14. If the count value (c) has reached the upper limit number (UL) (Y in S18), the basic lottery execution unit 118 provides the ceiling character to the player (S20). Specifically, after selecting the ceiling character, character information registered in character information storage unit 132 is transmitted from communication unit 110 to game terminal 104, and data processing unit 126 stores the character information in data storage unit 128. register. Thereby, a series of basic lottery processes ends, and the next new basic lottery process can be started.

  In the present embodiment, the upper limit number of times is changed according to the player. Here, “according to the player” includes not only a case based on an input specified by the player on the upper limit selection screen 120 but also a case based on a player attribute.

A limit may be set on the number of times the basic lottery is executed per day or per month depending on the age of the player. For example, suppose that the amount of game consumption per month is limited to 5000 points in order to suppress the consumption of game points by young people. Hereinafter, the limited number of executions of the basic lottery per predetermined period is simply referred to as “limited number”. If the game point consumption amount required to execute the basic lottery once is 100 points, the limit number of times corresponding to 5000 points is 50.
Therefore, when the upper limit number is 200, it takes four months for the player to reach the upper limit number. In this case, it is much more difficult for the player to acquire the ceiling character than for a player without any restrictions.

When the player is young, for example, when the player is 15 or younger, the settlement setting unit 116 may set the limit number to 50 and set the upper limit number to only 100 or less. According to such a control method, it is easy for young players to control the game characteristics so that they can enjoy the limited number of times.
The age may be self-reported to the player. The player inputs attribute information such as age at the time of login, and registers player attributes in the player information storage unit 130. The settlement setting unit 116 may determine the settable range of the limited number or the upper limit number according to the player attribute.

When the limited number of times of 15 years or younger is 50 times, the settlement setting unit 116 can select either 25 times or 50 times as the upper limit number. When the limited number of times of 20 years or younger is 100 times, the settlement setting unit 116. May be selectable from among 50 times, 80 times, and 100 times as the upper limit number. If the player is 21 years of age or older, the limit number may not be set. If the limited number of times for children under 10 is 30 times, the settlement setting unit 116 may fix the upper limit number to 25 times.
Similarly, the settable range of the upper limit may be adjusted so as to suppress the game point consumption of the elderly as well as the game point consumption of the young.

  The game execution unit 112 may acquire the player attribute from contract information or the like registered in the game terminal 104 in advance. In addition to the age, the settable range of the upper limit number may be changed according to the amount of game points consumed last month. For example, when the consumption of the game points in the last month is larger than a predetermined threshold, the settable range of the upper limit number may be suppressed in order to suppress the consumption of the game points in this month, and vice versa. May be extended.

  The upper limit number or the selectable range of the upper limit number may be changed according to the play time, the number of login days, the number and type (rare rank) of the possessed characters, the progress of the game, and the player's ability to consume game points. It is considered that a player with a great deal of game experience can appropriately control the consumption of game points. When the play time or the number of log-in days is greater than a predetermined threshold, the settlement setting unit 116 may determine that the player has rich game experience.

The selectable range of the upper limit number of times may be set based on the level and type of the character required by the player, whether or not the player already has the ceiling character. When the player does not own the character 1, the upper limit number of the basic lottery using the character 1 as the ceiling character is set to 100 times, and when the player owns one character 1, the upper limit number is set to 150 times. Good. When the character 1 has reached the maximum level, the upper limit number of the basic lottery for which the material character necessary for evolving the character 1 is the ceiling character may be set to 200 times.
According to such a setting method, the amount of payment for acquiring the character 1 for the first time is small, but the game property can be controlled so that acquisition of the second and subsequent characters and acquisition of the material character become difficult. That is, it is possible to realize a game characteristic that it is easy to acquire but difficult to align, and easy to acquire but difficult to grow.

For a player who can consume game points, for example, the model of the game terminal 104, the amount of data communication so far, game point information previously consumed in the game, game point information consumed in other related games, It may be determined from information such as
When the settlement setting unit 116 determines that the player's ability to consume the game points is high, the settable range of the upper limit number may be increased.

  When the upper limit number is determined, another upper limit number may not be set until the count value reaches the upper limit number. Alternatively, the upper limit number may be changed in the middle (hereinafter, referred to as “upper limit change”). For example, when the count value is 30 in the basic lottery (L01: 80), an upper limit change to the basic lottery (L01: 50) may be permitted. You may charge a cost for changing the upper limit. For example, instead of consuming 10 game points, an upper limit change may be permitted.

  If the character range targeted for the lottery changes by changing the upper limit number of the basic lottery, there is a possibility that the upper limit change may be a merit of the player. For example, when the target rare character A is won in the tenth lottery execution in the basic lottery (L01: 80), the player can select another rare character B rather than continue the basic lottery (L01: 80) 70 times. You may want to challenge the basic lottery including L01: 50. Therefore, when changing the upper limit, the game balance may be maintained by imposing costs such as game point consumption.

The settlement setting unit 116 may determine the cost associated with the upper limit change according to the rare rank of the character to be drawn. For example, when the target rare character A is won in the tenth lottery execution in the basic lottery (L01: 80), the average value of the rare ranks of the characters acquired by the tenth basic lottery among the character groups to be drawn (or The higher the (expected value), the higher the cost may be. As the number of characters with high rare ranks can be obtained in the basic lottery, in other words, the lower the average value of the rare ranks of the characters that have not been obtained by the tenth basic lottery among the group of characters targeted for the lottery, As the number of characters decreases, the player may want to change the upper limit (change the basic lottery).
In such a case, the cost may be increased to balance the merits of the player and the cost (compensation). Alternatively, when the player's intention to change the upper limit becomes stronger, the setting may be made such that the cost is lowered and the change of the upper limit is encouraged.

  The basic lottery execution unit 118 may set a basic lottery in accordance with a request from a player, instead of preparing a plurality of types of basic lottery settings in advance. When the player needs the character (C0102), the basic lottery execution unit 118 may set the basic lottery including the character (C0102) or may set the basic lottery using the character (C0102) as the ceiling character. Good.

  The character required by the player does not always have a high rare rank. For example, a rare rank may not be very high, but some characters may want to be added to the collection by a player, while others may be popular with characters that the game developer did not expect. If such a character is set as a ceiling character, the game operator can easily attract the player to the basic lottery. Rare characters that have a high rare rank and greatly affect the difficulty of the game and the world view will remain rare, while popular characters without much influence can be obtained depending on the game point. May be set.

  Assume that the player needs both character 1 and character 2. The count value of the basic lottery using the character 1 as the ceiling character is 100, and the count value of the basic lottery using the character 2 as the ceiling character is 150. In this case, the settlement setting unit 116 may set a basic lottery in which both the character 1 and the character 2 can be acquired as ceiling characters. The settlement setting unit 116 may set the upper limit number to 200 which is smaller than 250 (= 100 + 150) which is the sum of the count values of the two. A merit may be given to the player by making the upper limit number smaller than the total value of the upper limit times when the two types of basic lottery are individually executed.

According to the above setting, a merit can be given to a player who needs both the characters 1 and 2 rather than a player who wants only the character 1. It is possible to give the player an incentive to obtain various characters and evolve them in various ways, in other words, to enjoy the game world view firmly.

In the case where the number of times of limitation is set based on age or the like, it is more difficult for a player with a lesser number of times to obtain a rare character. Therefore, when a player with a small number of restrictions and a player with a large number of restrictions, or a player with a small number of restrictions and a player for whom the number of restrictions is not set compete, a player with a small number of restrictions is disadvantageous.
One solution may be to prohibit exchanges between players whose limit times are different. Specifically, the game execution unit 112 provides a game field in which only players under the age of 15 can participate, and a game field in which only players over the age of 15 can participate, isolates each game field, and has a different number of times. The players may be controlled so that they cannot be friends. In addition, players having different limit times may be controlled so as not to be matched in the game.

  Alternatively, when there is a clear difference in ability between the player 1 and the player 2, the character of the helper sword may be given to the weaker player 1, or a part of the character held by the stronger player 2 may play a match. The performance difference may be adjusted by performing a process such as sabotage.

  The consumption rate of the game points may be controlled based on the execution frequency of the basic lottery other than the limited number of times. When the upper limit number is 100 times, the basic lottery can be executed up to 20 times per predetermined period (for example, one day), but when the upper limit number is 50 times, the basic lottery may be executed only up to 10 times per day. In this case, in any case, it takes at least five days to acquire the ceiling character. Since the number of days for acquiring the ceiling character does not change, it is possible to suppress a difference in ability between players having different upper limit times. In particular, since it is difficult to increase the execution frequency of the basic lottery for young players, the upper limit number of times per day for other players may be controlled in accordance with the execution frequency of the young players. .

[Second embodiment]
FIG. 8 is a data structure diagram of the count setting storage unit 136.
In the second embodiment, the number of executions and the count value do not always match. When the basic lottery is executed once, the count value may increase by 1, may be 0.5, or may be 2. In this manner, the increment of the count value when the basic lottery is executed once is referred to as “up value”. The up value in the first embodiment is fixed at 1, but the up value in the second embodiment varies.
In the second embodiment, in order to clarify that the number of executions and the count value do not always match, the upper limit is described instead of the upper limit.

The game is identified by the game ID, and the attribute of each game is managed. In the second embodiment, the count value is collectively managed not only for a plurality of basic lotteries but also for a plurality of games having the basic lottery as a component of the game. The feature of the second embodiment is that the count value is an “asset” of a player that can be used in a plurality of games.
The player can transfer the count value accumulated in game 1 to game 2. Alternatively, a common count value (universal value) may be set for all games, and the count value may be used in both game 1 and game 2.

  In FIG. 8, the up value of the basic lottery (L01) of the game (G01) (hereinafter, referred to as “basic lottery (G01: L01)”) is set to 1. On the other hand, the up value of the basic lottery (G01: L02) is set to 1.5. In other words, the count value is easier to increase in the basic lottery (G01: L02) than in the basic lottery (G01: L01). If the upper limit is the same, the basic lottery (G01: L02) is advantageous to the player because the number of game points required to acquire the ceiling character is smaller.

The average rare rank of the character group targeted for the lottery in the basic lottery (G01: L01) is 4.3, and the average rare rank of the character group targeted for the lottery in the basic lottery (G01: L02) is 4.1. The basic lottery (G01: L01) is easier to obtain a character with a higher rare rank, but the basic lottery (G01: L02) is easier to accumulate the count value. In other words, the settlement consumption up to the upper limit is small. The game balance can be maintained while clarifying the individuality of the two basic lotteries.
What is necessary is just to set so that the correlation coefficient of both becomes negative so that an average rare rank becomes small, so that an up value becomes large.

At the time of executing the basic lottery, the lottery execution unit 114 may execute a lottery for selecting an up value from a predetermined range (hereinafter, referred to as “up lottery”). Each time the basic lottery is executed, the up lottery may be executed, or when the upper limit value is determined, the basic lottery is selected, the game is started, the first login of the day is performed, or the game result is notified. The up lottery may be executed at an arbitrary timing.
Alternatively, the up lottery may be performed again after a predetermined period has elapsed since the up lottery was performed. For example, an up lottery may be performed at the time of login, and an up lottery may be performed again one hour after login. Note that, for example, an up-lottery may be performed every day at 00:00, and a notification may be made at the time of login.
When a high up value is set in the up lottery, the player's motivation for the basic lottery is likely to be evoked.

At the time of the basic lottery, when a character with a predetermined rare rank or higher, for example, a character with a rare rank of 5 or higher is allocated, the basic lottery execution unit 118 may increase the up value. For example, when the upper limit value of the basic lottery (G01: L01) is 50 (the up value is 1), it is assumed that the character 1 of rare rank 7 is won in the twentieth basic lottery (G01: L01). It is assumed that the rare rank of the ceiling character in the basic lottery (G01: L01) is 5. Since the player has acquired the precious character 1, the player may be less motivated to continue the basic lottery (G01: L01). At this time, the basic lottery execution unit 118 increases the up value from 1 to 3. When the up value is 1, 30 more lottery runs are required to reach the upper limit in the basic lottery (G01: L01), but when the up value is 3, the number of lottery runs is only 10 times. Since the up value has been increased, an incentive to perform the basic lottery (G01: L01) until the count value reaches the upper limit value is given to the player.
It is to be noted that the same effect can be realized by adjusting the upper limit value from 50 to 30 instead of changing the up value.

The change amount of the up value may be set in accordance with the level or the rare rank of the character obtained in the basic lottery. For example, when the character of rare rank 6 is assigned, the up value is increased by one and changed from 1 to 2, and when the character is assigned to the rare rank 7 character, the up value is increased by two and changed from 2 to 4. . According to such a control method, the accumulation speed of the count value can be accelerated as the rare character is allocated in the basic lottery.
Although the details will be described later, since the count value also functions as a game asset of the player, such a control method makes it easier to further motivate the player to continue the basic lottery.

The up value may increase but not decrease until the upper limit is reached. Alternatively, the up value may be increased or decreased each time the basic lottery is executed. The up lottery may be executed within a range where the up value does not become a predetermined lower limit value, for example, 1 or less.
In addition, when a rare character with a high rare rank is allocated, the up value may be increased, or when the vehicle is in a predetermined time zone or a predetermined area, the up value may be increased, or a predetermined character or a predetermined item may be set. You may increase the up price only when you have The probability that the up value is set high in the up lottery may be changed according to the possessed character or the player attribute.

  The lottery execution unit 114 may execute “evolution lottery” every time the basic lottery is executed. Then, when the evolution lottery is won, the evolution character of the ceiling character may be set as a new ceiling character. In the evolution lottery, a winning probability of about 0.1% is set. According to such a control method, the player can expect not only the basic lottery but also the evolution lottery, so that the interest of the game can be deepened.

  In the evolution lottery, the ceiling character may be evolved in two or more steps at a stretch with a winning probability of about 0.01%. In addition, a lottery that changes the ceiling character to another character that is more advantageous to the player, a lottery that changes the attribute value of the ceiling character to a setting that is more advantageous to the player, a lottery that gives game points and items as bonuses in addition to the ceiling character, etc. Various ancillary draws may be performed.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram for explaining a method of exchanging count values.
In the second embodiment, the count value is shared among a plurality of basic lotteries and a plurality of games. In FIG. 9, it is assumed that a certain player has the count value 30. The up value (CU) of the basic lottery (G01: L02) is 1.5. In this case, the basic count value 30 corresponds to the count value 45 in the basic lottery (G01: L02). The fact that the up value (CU) of the basic lottery (G01: L02) is large means that a count value is easily accumulated in the basic lottery (G01: L02), so that a kind of inflation state occurs.

  On the other hand, since the up value (CU) of the basic lottery (G02: L01) is 0.5, the basic count value 30 corresponds to the count value 15 in the basic lottery (G02: L01). The fact that the up value (CU) of the basic lottery (G02: L01) is small means that the count value in the basic lottery (G02: L01) is difficult to accumulate, so that a kind of deflation state occurs.

  In the basic lottery (G01: L02), the value per count value 1 is low because the count value is easily accumulated, and in the basic lottery (G02: L01), the value per count value is high because the count value is difficult to accumulate. . For example, if the number of game points required to execute the basic lottery once is 100, 100 points correspond to the count value 1.5 in the basic lottery (G01: L02), but 100 in the basic lottery (G02: L01). Points correspond to a count value of 0.5. That is, the count value 1 in the basic lottery (G02: L01) has three times the value of the count value 1 in the basic lottery (G01: L02).

  It is also possible to transfer the count value of the basic lottery (G01: L02) to the basic lottery (G02: L01). In this case, since the exchange rate is 3: 1, the replacement unit 144 replaces the count value 3 of the basic lottery (G01: L02) with the count value 1 of the basic lottery (G02: L01). However, actually, the ratio does not need to be 3: 1, and the original value and the exchange rate may be separated such as 3: 2 or 4: 1, for example. Details will be described later.

  As described above, even when the values of the count values are different, transfer based on the real value of the count values can be performed in a plurality of basic lotteries and a plurality of games. For example, when the upper limit value of the basic lottery (G02: L01) is 50 and the upper limit value of the basic lottery (G01: L02) is 50, all the count values on hand may be shifted to the basic lottery (G02: L01). According to such processing, a resource called a count value can be selectively allocated to a basic lottery with a small consumption amount.

  The game server 102 may set an event for a limited period, and may set a basic lottery that can be executed only during this period (hereinafter, referred to as an “event basic lottery”). In the event basic lottery, a rare character that can be obtained only during the event period may be provided. If the count value can be transferred, the count value accumulated in the event basic lottery can be transferred to another basic lottery even when the event period ends. Since the count value of the event basic lottery is not wasted, the player can easily execute the event basic lottery with ease.

  The up value of the event basic lottery may be set higher than the normal basic lottery. In this case, since the count value can be earned by the event basic lottery, it becomes easier to attract the player to the event basic lottery.

In FIG. 9, the exchange rate of the count value is set according to the up value of the two basic lotteries, but the exchange rate does not necessarily need to reflect the up value. For example, the exchange rate between the basic lottery (G02: L01) and the basic lottery (G01: L02) may be set to 4: 1 only during the campaign period instead of 3: 1. In this case, a strategy is established in which the count value is firmly earned in the basic lottery (G02: L01) and the process proceeds to the basic lottery (G01: L02).
A basic lottery in which the count value is easy to accumulate instead of the rare characters and a basic lottery in which the count value is hard to accumulate instead of the rare characters may be prepared.

  The exchange rate need not be fixed, but may be variable, such as currency exchange. The exchange rate may be changed every moment according to the popularity of the basic lottery or the rare rank of the character targeted for the lottery, or randomly. According to such a control method, an arbitrage strategy of obtaining a profit in a game by executing a more advantageous basic lottery in a timely manner can be incorporated as a game property.

  The game points need not be of one type. For example, a basic lottery may be executed by consuming an item, or a basic lottery may be executed by erasing a character. As described above, a plurality of types of game elements may be consumed to execute the basic lottery. Further, the up value or the upper limit value may be changed according to the type of the game element.

  Not limited to the average rare rank, the up value may be set according to the highest rare rank of the character to be drawn. For example, the up value of the basic lottery with the highest rare rank of 7 may be set to be higher than the up value of the basic lottery with the highest rare rank of 8. The up value may be set according to the average rare rank of the ceiling character, the number of ceiling characters that can be acquired, and the like.

  Of a plurality of basic lotteries, the up value may be set large for a basic lottery in which a challenge right is not given unless the game is sufficiently advanced. According to such a control method, it is easy to stimulate a desire to continue the game itself.

The up value may be changed according to the count value. For example, the up value may be increased or decreased as the count value approaches the upper limit value.
The more frequently one basic lottery is executed, the lower the up value of the basic lottery may be. According to such a control method, it is advantageous not to execute only one basic lottery but to try various basic lotteries evenly.
The up value may be linked with the position information. For example, the up value may be increased only when the player is located at the affiliated store. Further, when the player purchases the affiliated product, the up value may be increased for a predetermined time. The information that the player has purchased the affiliated product may be obtained by reading information written on a receipt issued by the store with a terminal owned by the player.

  The up value may be changed for each game instead of for each basic lottery. For example, for a newly released game, the up value may be set high until the number of players who have downloaded the game exceeds 100,000. In this way, it is easier to gather new game participants early. In addition, the up value is usually set to a low value, and when the number of players who have downloaded the game exceeds 1 million, the up value may be set to a high value.

The game system 100 has been described above based on the embodiment.
According to the first and second embodiments, the selectable range of the upper limit number (upper limit value) can be set according to the selection of the player or the attribute of the player. The player can always acquire the ceiling character by executing the basic lottery until reaching the upper limit. For the ceiling character, the worst number can be limited to the upper limit number. In addition, it is possible to maintain the rarity of rare characters that greatly affect the game balance.

  When the maximum number of times is small, the rare character of the ceiling character (advantage to the player) is adjusted so as to be low, and when the maximum number of times is large, the rare rank of the ceiling character is set to be high. By maintaining the balance of the game, the game balance can be maintained.

  The character that the player wants and the important character that has a large effect on the progress of the game do not always match. In addition to the strength of the character, the character's popularity may increase due to various sensory factors such as design. The world view of the game is fostered not only by the game developer's settings but also by the player's interpretation of the game. By setting the character preferred by the player as the ceiling character, two propositions of maintaining the game balance and suppressing the worst consumption risk can be achieved.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and modified examples, and can be embodied by modifying the constituent elements without departing from the gist. Various inventions may be formed by appropriately combining a plurality of components disclosed in the above embodiments and modifications. In addition, some components may be deleted from all the components shown in the above-described embodiment and the modified examples.

  Although the game system 100 has been described as being configured by the plurality of game terminals 104 and one game server 102, a part of the functions of the game terminal 104 may be realized by the game server 102 or the functions of the game server 102 may be realized. Some may be assigned by the gaming terminal 104. Further, a third device other than the game terminal 104 and the game server 102 may take part of the function. An aggregate of each function of the game terminal 104 and each function of the game server 102 described in FIG. 2 can be globally grasped as one “information processing device (game device)”. How to allocate a plurality of functions necessary to realize the present invention to one or a plurality of pieces of hardware depends on the processing capability of each piece of hardware, the specifications required for the game system 100, and the like. It only has to be determined.

  Although the material character disappears due to synthetic evolution, after the disappearance, the material character may change to a game point or may change to another character.

  The player may be given the right to execute the basic lottery when some event condition such as the victory of the battle is satisfied as well as the consumption of the game points. In the game, the character may be designed as a card, a figure, or the like. The character may be given as a gift from another player, may be given by playing during an event period set by the game execution unit 112, or may clear a game stage set by the game execution unit 112. It may be provided as a condition.

  The rare character 1 may be allocated in the basic lottery, or may be obtained as a ceiling character. In the case where the rare character 1 is obtained as the ceiling character, more game points are consumed than in winning, and in this case, some compensation may be performed.

For example, the basic lottery execution unit 118 accumulates experience values in the background every time the basic lottery is executed. Then, when the rare character 1 is acquired as the ceiling character, the accumulated experience value may be given to the rare character 1. On the other hand, when the rare character 1 is won, the accumulated experience value may be discarded. According to such a control method, the initial setting level at the time of acquisition is higher for the rare character 1 obtained as a ceiling character.
Not limited to experience values, some additional benefits such as game points and items, character skill levels, and material characters may be provided.

The experience value to be provided may be changed according to the count value accumulated until the rare character 1 is won. For example, when the rare character 1 is allocated in the first basic lottery, the experience value is not added. When the rare character 1 is allocated in the tenth basic lottery, the experience value is added only with the first value. When the rare character 1 is allocated in the basic lottery, the experience value is added by the second value larger than the first value, and when the rare character 1 is acquired as the ceiling character, only the third value larger than the second value is added. Experience values may be added.
According to the control method described above, even when a rare character 2 different from the ceiling character is allocated in the basic lottery, it is easy to motivate the user to continue the basic lottery in order to acquire the ceiling character 1. This is because it is attractive for the player that the ceiling character 1 is provided with many experience values.

  When the count value reaches the upper limit, the upper limit of the next basic lottery may be reduced. For example, when the basic lottery with the upper limit of 80 times is selected, if the upper limit is reduced to 70 times, it becomes easier for the player to motivate to challenge the next basic lottery.

The advantage in the next basic lottery may be changed according to the average rare rank or the highest rare rank of the characters acquired in the basic lottery. For example, if a character with a rank of 5 or more cannot be obtained despite repeating the basic lottery until the upper limit is reached, adjustments such as lowering the upper limit of the next basic lottery selected or increasing the up value will be made. You may do. Alternatively, the winning probability of the rare character may be increased in the next basic lottery, or the level of the ceiling character may be increased.
According to such a control method, even a player who has not obtained a desired result in the basic lottery can easily be motivated to challenge the next basic lottery.

  If a character is disposed of (discarded, sold, exchanged, etc.) within a predetermined time after assigning a character in the basic lottery, it can be assumed that the player is not satisfied with the character. Therefore, the dissatisfaction points may be added each time such a disposition action is performed, and when the dissatisfaction points reach a predetermined value, the setting conditions of the basic lottery may be changed to the advantage of the player.

  The count value or the experience value may be given to the player as a privilege, triggered by a login bonus or a friend application as a network game. For example, when more than 10 friends enjoy the same game, control may be performed so as to increase the count value or the up value.

  The up value may be changed according to the consumption of the game points. For example, for a player who consumes a large amount of game points, the up value of the basic lottery may be set as a bonus for a predetermined period or a predetermined number of times. Alternatively, by consuming 10 game points for the basic lottery at a time or within a predetermined period, for example, a count value and a lottery right for 12 times may be provided.

  Further, the up value may be changed without the basic lottery according to the consumption of the game points. In this case, it is preferable to set the consumption of the game points higher than in the case where the basic lottery is involved.

FIG. 10 is a correlation diagram summarizing the main mutual influence relationships of various parameters.
As described above, the setting of the basic lottery can be changed according to various conditions such as the attributes of the player and the possessed characters. Each element shown in FIG. 10 will be described.
Point type:
In addition to the game points obtained by charging, the types of game elements to be consumed for executing the basic lottery, such as game points obtained without charging, lottery tickets, items, and characters, are shown.
Retention status:
Shows the type and number of characters held by the player, and the amount of items and game points held by the player.
Player attributes:
Shows the player's profile, such as the player's age, gender, ability, and gaming experience.
Lottery results:
Indicates the type and value of the character obtained by the basic lottery.
Events:
In addition to the events set in the game server 102, the information includes basic lottery, game popularity, and the like.
Limit times:
It shows the execution restriction of the basic lottery per predetermined period.
Upper limit (upper limit):
Shows the count value required to acquire the ceiling character. Corresponds to checkout consumption.
Lottery conditions:
Shows the degree of expectation (advantage) of the basic lottery, such as the type of character to be drawn.
Up value:
It shows the increment of the count value when the basic lottery is executed once.
Benefits:
When the count value reaches the upper limit value, it indicates the type, number, or selectability of the character provided to the player. The privilege is not limited to the ceiling character, and may be any privilege provided when reaching the upper limit, such as an item or a game point.
Exchange rate:
It shows an exchange rate when a count value is shifted between a plurality of games and a plurality of basic lotteries.

For example, when the player is young (player attribute), the number of times of limitation is set low, and when the number of times of limitation is low, the selection range of the upper limit number (upper limit) is limited. As shown in FIG. 10, the player attribute affects the limit number, and the limit number affects the upper limit number.
If the lottery result is not advantageous to the player, advantages such as a decrease in the upper limit value of the next basic lottery and an increase in the up value are provided. As shown in FIG. 10, the lottery result affects the upper limit number, and the upper limit number affects the up value.
The parameters shown in FIG. 10 are only those obtained by selectively extracting the main parameters in the present embodiment, and their relevance is not limited to that shown in FIG. 10 and various settings are possible.

Benefits provided as a result of the basic lottery are not limited to characters. For example, any item, such as an item, a game point, or an event ticket, which is advantageous to the player may be used.
Although the basic lottery has been described as a restoration extraction, the present invention can be applied to a non-restoration extraction method.

  In the above description, the upper limit number (upper limit value) is changed according to the player attribute or the like, but the initial set value of the up value or the count value may be changed instead of the upper limit value. In general terms, the game balance may be controlled by increasing or decreasing the consumption of game points (payment consumption) required to reach the upper limit value according to the player. For example, when the number of game points held by the player is small, the upper limit value may be set lower, the count value may be started from 10 instead of zero while the upper limit value is fixed, or the up value may be changed from 1 to 1 It may be set to 1.5.

  The count value may be changed according to the consumption of the game points. For example, even if the number of game points required to execute the basic lottery once is 100, the lottery right may be given at the first time at 50 points. Instead, the count value may be set so that only 0.5 of the normal value is added. Further, the addition of the count may be changed between the case where the lottery is performed by consuming the game points and the case where the lottery is performed by using other than the game points. For example, when the lottery is performed by consuming the game points obtained by charging, the up value is 2, and when the lottery is performed by consuming the game points obtained by the game result (obtained without charging) or the lottery ticket, the up value is increased. The value may be set to 1.

  The accumulated count value and experience value may be exchanged between the players. For example, it is assumed that there is a player A seeking a rare character 1 that can be acquired by a certain basic lottery. Rare character 1 is not a ceiling character. When converted from the winning probability, it is assumed that the expected value of the count value assumed to acquire the rare character 1 is 500. However, even if the game points are consumed and the basic lottery is repeated until the count value reaches 500, it is not known whether or not the rare character 1 can be obtained.

On the other hand, it is assumed that there is a player B holding the rare character 1. At this time, the player A may obtain the rare character 1 instead of giving the count value 600 minutes to the player B. By giving the count value 600, the player A can surely obtain the rare character 1, and the player B can obtain a large count value for the rare character 1.
In the present embodiment, the game point, the count value, and the character (privilege) are in a mutually interchangeable relationship. The character may be exchanged for a game point, or the count value may be exchanged for a character.

From the above description, the following invention is recognized.
A1. A game execution unit that controls the progress of the game based on the game content held by the player;
A basic lottery execution unit that executes a basic lottery in which a winning probability is assigned to each game medium and the game element is consumed,
A setting unit that changes a consumption amount of the game element necessary for satisfying the predetermined condition according to a player,
The information processing apparatus, wherein the basic lottery execution unit provides a privilege to a player regardless of a lottery result when the predetermined condition is satisfied.

  Regardless of the lottery result, when a predetermined condition, such as the count value reaching the upper limit, is established, the player may be provided with benefits such as game media and items. The privilege may be common to all players, but in this case, there is a possibility that the player 1 and the player 2 who are likely to satisfy the above-mentioned conditions may be unfair. As one method, a method of separating the game fields of the player 1 and the player 2 (prohibiting the interaction between the players) can be considered. In this case, the advantage of the player 1 does not affect the player 2.

  When the same privilege is given to the player 1 who easily fulfills the condition and the player 2 who hardly fulfills the condition, the above-mentioned condition is likely to be fulfilled in the next basic lottery, such as setting a higher up value of the next basic lottery for the player 2. May be set as follows. In the case of the player 1, the up value of the next basic lottery may be set low instead of providing the privilege, so that the above conditions may not be satisfied in the next basic lottery. Even if the benefits are the same, a long-term balance may be achieved by differentiating the game difficulty level thereafter.
