<Description of the continuous lottery process>
Hereinafter, the continuous lottery process of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the control means and the processing procedure described below are merely examples, and embodiments of the present invention are not limited to these. The design of the processing procedure and the like can be changed as appropriate without changing the gist of the present invention.

  First, the lottery requesting means 302 of the game device 3 makes a gacha request based on a user operation (step S1).

  Next, the medium lottery executing means 202 executes a gacha based on the reception of the gacha request information (step S2).

  Then, the medium lottery executing means 202 selects a character from the gacha list and associates information of the selected character with identification information of the user. Thereby, the character selected by the gacha is given to the user (step S3).

  Next, the continuous lottery executing means 203 determines whether or not the continuous lottery is being executed (step S4). The continuous lottery execution state is a state in which the execution possibility lottery has been won when the gacha was previously executed, and the continuous lottery has not been won.

  When it is determined that the continuous lottery execution state is set (S4: YES), the process proceeds to step S7 described below.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the continuous lottery execution state is not set (S4: NO), the continuous lottery execution means 203 executes the execution possibility lottery and determines whether or not the execution possibility lottery is won ( Step S5).

  When it is determined that the execution possibility lottery has not been won (S5: NO), the continuous lottery process of the present invention ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the execution possibility lottery has been won (S5: YES), the continuous lottery execution means 203 selects the winning probability of the continuous lottery (step S6).

  Next, the continuous lottery executing means 203 executes the continuous lottery based on the selected winning probability and determines whether or not the continuous lottery has been won (step S7).

  When it is determined that the continuous lottery has been won (S7: YES), the medium lottery executing means 202 associates the right to continuously execute the gacha with the identification information of the user. Thereby, the right to continuously execute the gacha is given to the user (step S8). Thereafter, the continuous lottery process of the present invention ends.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the continuous lottery has not been won (S7: NO), the medium lottery executing means 202 determines the result of the gacha, that is, from when the continuous lottery is won to when the continuous lottery is not won. Is transmitted to the game apparatus 3. Upon receiving this information, the game execution means 201 displays a list of all characters as a game screen (step S9). Thereafter, the continuous lottery process of the present invention ends.
With the above procedure, the continuous lottery process of the present invention is executed.

To summarize the above, the computer program of the present embodiment is:
Server device 2
When the gacha is requested by the user, the gacha is executed, a character is selected from a gacha list in which a plurality of types of characters are stored, and a medium lottery executing means 202 for associating the selected character with user identification information, And a continuation lottery execution means 203 for executing a continuation lottery for determining whether or not the right to continuously execute the gacha is associated with the user identification information, triggered by the request for the gacha,
Function as
When a continuous lottery is won, the continuous lottery executing means 203 associates the right to execute the gacha with the identification information of the user.

<Effect of the Invention>
According to the computer program of the present embodiment, an interesting gacha can be executed.

[Other embodiments]
In the above-described embodiment, there is described an example in which once the winning or non-executing lottery is won, and if the winning probability of the continuous lottery is selected, the subsequent continuous lottery is executed with the same winning probability in the subsequent continuous lottery. Not limited to For example, the continuous lottery execution means may determine the winning probability of the continuous lottery each time the continuous lottery is executed.

  Further, the winning probability of at least one of the execution possibility lottery and the continuous lottery may be increased depending on the number of consecutive logins. In this case, the user can be motivated to log in every day.

  Further, when the number of consecutive logins is equal to or more than a predetermined number, the continuous lottery execution means may execute the execution possibility lottery and the continuous lottery in response to the gacha request being made. That is, the continuous lottery and the like need not be executed until the number of consecutive logins is equal to or greater than the predetermined number.

  Further, unlike the above, the execution possibility lottery and the continuous lottery may be executed within a predetermined period such as the period of an event.

  Further, unlike the above, for example, when the user acquires a specific item during the game based on the game result, the winning probability of at least one of the execution possibility lottery and the continuous lottery may be increased. If the specific item is, for example, an item obtained by completing a specific quest, the user can be motivated to clear the quest.

  In addition, every time a continuous lottery is won, for example, the probability of winning a character with a high rarity may be gradually or gradually increased.

  Further, at the time of displaying the result of the gacha, a title may be given to the user according to the number of consecutive winnings in the continuous lottery. For example, when the number of consecutive lottery wins is 5 or more, “fighter” is set, and when the number of consecutive lottery wins is 10 or more, “king” is set.

  In this case, the game of the embodiment is linked to SNS (social networking service), so that one user can transmit an image displaying the result of the gacha to another user. It may be.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example is described in which the winning probability of the continuous lottery is not notified to the user, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the winning probability of the continuous lottery may be suggested to the user on the game screen when the gacha request is made. That is, when the winning probability of the continuous lottery is higher than a predetermined value, it may be suggested that the game screen becomes golden or the like.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example is described in which a jewel is not consumed even if a gacha is requested when a continuous lottery is won, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a continuous lottery is won, the user may be given a right to perform a gacha with a smaller number of jewels (for example, five) than the first gacha.

  Further, unlike the above-described embodiment, the lottery executed when the execution possibility lottery is won may not be a continuous lottery. For example, when a gacha request is made, a lottery may be performed to determine whether to reduce the number of jewels consumed when the user requests the next gacha. In this case, if the lottery is continuously won, the number of jewels consumed for one gacha request can be gradually reduced.

  Further, each time the continuous lottery is won, the winning probability of the continuous lottery may increase, or the winning probability may decrease. Further, each time a continuous lottery is won, a lottery for determining whether to increase or decrease the winning probability of the next continuous lottery may be executed.

  Further, unlike the above-described embodiment, a gacha in which the winning of the execution possibility lottery and the continuous lottery is determined from the beginning of the gacha execution may be executed. In this case, the winning probability of the continuous lottery may be determined in advance, or a different winning probability from the normal continuous lottery may be used.

  Furthermore, the right to execute the continuous lottery may be included in the gacha list as a given game medium.

  In the above embodiment, the game medium provided by the gacha is a character, but the game medium may be an item such as a weapon or equipment, a jewel consumed when executing the gacha, or the like.

  Further, in the above embodiment, an example in which the computer device is a server device is described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a game device of one user may function as a server device. In this case, one game device and the other game device may be connected by BLUETOOTH (registered trademark). Further, a gacha, a continuous lottery, and the like may be executed by the game device alone.

  Further, in the embodiment, an example is described in which the game device is a terminal device such as a smartphone, but the present invention is not limited to this. The game device may be, for example, a stationary game device to which a display and a controller are externally connected, or a personal computer.
