<About giving a gacha ticket by consuming consumption media>
In order to draw the paid gacha, the user needs to obtain the paid consumption medium by charging. Some of such gachas give a privilege to the user by purchasing the paid consumption medium. For example, if the gacha is drawn a certain number of times, it is a privilege that the gacha can be additionally drawn, and a privilege that the rare game medium can be surely obtained.

  Therefore, such a gacha has a higher probability of hitting the rare game content as the number of times of drawing is increased.

  Therefore, the user keeps throwing the consumption medium obtained by billing until the rare game medium hits for the purpose of drawing a gacha, and as a result, the billing amount becomes high and the interest of the game may be lost.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to draw a gacha similar to the paid gacha as a result, while improving the fun of the game by throwing the consumption medium obtained by charging for purposes other than the purpose of drawing the gacha. The game program or game system will be specifically described.

  3 to 5 show game image examples in which the game screen a is displayed on the display 62 of the game apparatus 5. Here, the consumption medium is expressed as “stone”.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of a conventional paid gacha image. When the gacha a1 is tapped, five stones possessed by the user are consumed and the lottery game contents can be acquired. The display a2 located above the game screen a represents the number of stones possessed by the user. That is, the user has seven stones, and it is necessary to consume five to seven stones in order to draw the gacha a1 once.

  Further, in FIG. 3, tapping the "Buy stone" button a3 located below the game screen a allows the purchase of stones by charging. That is, if the number of stones possessed by the user is less than 5, the user needs to pay for purchasing the stones to purchase the stones.

  4 and 5 show examples of game images for drawing the "special gacha".

  In FIG. 4, a stamina gauge a4 indicating the current stamina value is displayed at the top of the game screen a. The right end of the stamina gauge a4 is the stamina recovery upper limit value. The stamina gauge a4 in FIG. 4 indicates that the stamina is reduced to about 30%.

  A display a2 is arranged immediately below the stamina gauge a4. The display a2 in FIG. 4 indicates that the number of stones possessed by the user is “20 pieces”.

  In the center of the game screen a, selection buttons a5, a5, a5 for selecting the number of stones and the degree (%) of recovery of the stamina corresponding to the number of stones are displayed. Depending on the user's operation, either button can be selected according to the degree of stamina to be recovered.

  A display a6 arranged below the game screen a represents the total number of stones to be consumed for acquiring the gacha ticket (the “predetermined amount”) and the number of stones to be consumed until the total number is reached. ing. That is, the display a6 in FIG. 4 indicates that the predetermined amount is 9, and that the gacha ticket can be acquired by consuming 5 more stones for the purpose (service) other than drawing the gacha.

  Here, it is assumed that the user taps the selection button a5 of "5 stones 50%" to recover the stamina. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, stamina is recovered to about 80%, five stones are consumed, and the display a2 is displayed as "15". The five stones consumed are used for services to recover stamina. Therefore, since the total amount of stones consumed so far has reached the predetermined amount (9 pieces), the gacha ticket is transmitted to the game apparatus 5. The transmission of the gacha ticket is notified to the user by a display a7 arranged below the game screen a.

  Further, in FIG. 5, a "collect" button a8 for stocking the gacha tickets and a "use" button a9 for consuming are displayed. When the "Use" button a9 is tapped by the user's operation, the lottery process for drawing the special gacha is executed.

<Regarding the flow performed by the server device 2 and the game device 5>
The flow of processing performed by the server device 2 and the game device 5 described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the fee is charged based on the operation of the user, the number of paid stones corresponding to the fee is transmitted from the server apparatus 2 to the game apparatus 5.

  The number of stones transmitted to the game apparatus 5 is added to the number of stones in the storage unit 55, and the number of stones after the addition is stored in the storage unit 55 (# 2). Here, the numbers of the paid stones and the free stones are separately stored in the storage unit 55. Unless otherwise stated, paid stones and free stones are referred to as “stones” without distinction.

  When one or more services provided in the game are selected by the user's operation, the consumption medium management unit 564 of the game apparatus 5 consumes the stones in the number of the price of the selected service ( # 3).

  That is, the consumption medium managing means 564 subtracts the stones corresponding to the value of the service from the number of stones stored in the storage unit 55. Then, the number of the stones after the reduction is stored again in the storage unit 55.

  The instruction acquisition unit 563 generates a service use request. The request is transmitted to the server device 2 (# 4).

  The service execution means 235 of the server device 2 confirms that the game device 5 has consumed the stone corresponding to the value of the service (# 5), and executes the service of the service selected in step # 3. As a result, the service is provided to the game device 5 (# 6).

  The user of the game apparatus 5 can obtain a predetermined effect such as recovery of the stamina by receiving the service (# 7).

  The counting means 565 of the game apparatus 5 counts the number of stones consumed. Here, in step # 3, since stones have been consumed for purposes (services) other than drawing gacha, the counting means 565 counts the number of stones consumed in step # 3, and the stones have been consumed so far. Add to the number of stones. When it is confirmed that the stones of the predetermined amount or more have been consumed, the counting unit 565 transmits the download request for the gacha ticket to the server device 2 (YES in # 8).

  When the server device 2 receives the gacha ticket download request, the granting means 233 transmits the gacha ticket to the game device 5, and the lottery means 232 performs the lottery processing so that the gacha ticket is used. The lottery process is allowed (# 9). The game device 5 having received the gacha ticket stores the gacha ticket in the storage unit 55 (# 10).

  On the other hand, when it is confirmed in step # 8 that the number of consumed stones does not exceed the predetermined amount, the counting unit 565 does not transmit the gacha ticket download request (NO in # 8). In this case, step # 3 and subsequent steps are repeated by the user's operation.

  When the user operates to input that the gacha ticket is to be consumed from the touch pad 64 of the game apparatus 5 (# 11), the game apparatus 5 transmits a request for downloading the game content by the special gacha to the server apparatus 2. To be done.

  The lottery means 232 of the server device 2 confirms that the gacha ticket has been consumed, and executes the lottery for the special gacha (# 12).

  The game contents selected by the lottery means 232 are transmitted to the game device 5 by the distribution means 234 (# 13).

  The game apparatus 5 stores the received game content in the storage unit 55 (# 14).

  To summarize the above, the game program of the present embodiment causes the control unit 23 (computer) of the server device 2 to select one of the game contents from a plurality of game contents by lottery based on a user operation. A lottery means 232 for executing a lottery process, a service execution means 235 for performing a service execution process for providing a service other than the lottery process to the user in the game, and the consumption consumed by the service execution process. Depending on the consumption amount of the medium, the lottery means is caused to function as a permission means for permitting the lottery processing, and further, the control unit 56 (computer) of the game apparatus 5 is consumed in the lottery processing and the service execution processing. Increase means (consumption medium management means 564) for increasing the consumption medium according to a predetermined condition, and the service execution When the counting result by the counting means 565 reaches a predetermined amount, the permitting means further functions as the counting means 565 that counts the consumption amount of the consumption medium that has been physically consumed. By giving the user a lottery right to execute the lottery process, the assigning unit 233 is allowed to function as the granting unit 233 that permits the lottery process by the lottery unit 232.

<Effect of the invention>
According to the game program of the present embodiment, the lottery means 232 is allowed to execute the lottery process according to the consumption amount of the consumption medium consumed by the service other than the purpose of drawing the gacha, so that the user is charged. The special gacha as much as the gacha can be drawn. As a result, the user can feel the interest in the game by receiving services other than gacha in the game. Then, since the user can eventually draw the special gacha, the aspiration of the user who keeps charging for the paid gacha to obtain the rare game content is suppressed, and the user can feel at ease. You will be able to run the gacha.

  Specifically, when the consumption amount of the consumption medium consumed for the service reaches the predetermined amount, the gacha ticket, which is a lottery right for causing the lottery means 232 to execute the lottery process, is given to the user. Then, the execution of the lottery process by the lottery means 232 is permitted. Therefore, there are more opportunities to use the consumption medium in the game other than the gacha.

For example, the server device 2 may give the gacha ticket to the user according to the amount of stones (consumption medium) consumed in one month.

  That is, in the above-described embodiment, the counting unit 565 integrates the consumption amount of the consumption medium consumed in the service execution process during the fixed period (predetermined period), so that the consumption for each fixed period (predetermined period) is increased. The total consumption of media may be counted. In this case, the granting unit 233, which is a granting unit, can grant the gacha ticket to the user according to the count result in the certain period (predetermined period). Therefore, the user has more chances to obtain a gacha ticket.

  In the above embodiment, the special lottery lottery list is described to include more rare game media than the free lottery lottery list. However, the special lottery lottery list may include a game medium partially different from the free lottery lottery list.

  Based on the above, for example, the lottery means 232 determines whether the lottery process is performed according to the consumption amount of the consumption medium consumed by the service execution process or the lottery process is performed without the service execution process. The game contents to be selected can be different. As a result, a user who desires to acquire a rare game content that cannot be acquired without going through the service execution process tries to be provided with a service other than the gacha in the game. Therefore, the interest of the game for the user, who may be able to acquire the rare game contents included only in the special gacha, is naturally improved.

  In the above embodiment, it has been described that the gacha ticket is required to draw the special gacha. However, the special gacha may be drawn by directly consuming the consumption medium as in the conventional example shown in FIG. 3, regardless of the gacha ticket. In that case, it is assumed that the special gacha can be drawn with a consumption amount of the consumption medium that is less than the amount required to acquire the gacha ticket.

  In the above embodiment, it has been described that the gacha ticket is required to draw the special gacha. However, in addition to the special gacha mentioned above, the gacha that can be drawn for free, the gacha that accompanies the consumption of the paid consumption media obtained by charging, and the gacha that accompanies the consumption of the gratis consumption media obtained by clearing the quest, etc. It may be possible to use a gacha ticket. In addition, the types of gachas are the above-mentioned special gachas and other gachas (gachas that can be drawn free of charge, gachas that accompany consumption of paid consumption media obtained by billing, free consumption media obtained through quest clearing, etc. (Gacha associated with the consumption of) and may be only other gachas. That is, in this case, the gacha ticket can be used to draw a game other than the special gacha. Further, the predetermined amount can be set for each type of gacha.

  In the above embodiment, it has been described that the gacha ticket is required to draw the special gacha. However, in order to draw the special gacha, it is sufficient that at least the predetermined amount of stones (consumption medium) is consumed, and at the time when the predetermined amount of stones (consumption medium) is consumed, the user of the gacha ticket Alternatively, the lottery means 232 may automatically perform the lottery process for the special gacha without being assigned to.

  In the above embodiment, the number (amount) of stones (consumption medium) consumed for the purpose of using the service is included in the “predetermined amount”. However, the number (quantity) of stones (consumption media) consumed to directly obtain the game content without the provision of the service, other than the purpose of using the service, is also the “predetermined amount”. It may be included in.

  Even when these other embodiments are adopted, the effects of the present invention are exhibited. It is also possible to appropriately combine this embodiment with other embodiments, and other embodiments.

<About giving a gacha ticket by consuming consumption media>
In order to draw the paid gacha, the user needs to obtain the paid consumption medium by charging. Some of such gachas give a privilege to the user by purchasing the paid consumption medium. For example, if the gacha is drawn a certain number of times, it is a privilege that the gacha can be additionally drawn, and a privilege that the rare game medium can be surely obtained.

  Therefore, such a gacha has a higher probability of hitting the rare game content as the number of times of drawing is increased.

  Therefore, the user keeps throwing the consumption medium obtained by billing until the rare game medium hits for the purpose of drawing a gacha, and as a result, the billing amount becomes high and the interest of the game may be lost.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to draw a gacha similar to the paid gacha as a result, while improving the fun of the game by throwing the consumption medium obtained by charging for purposes other than the purpose of drawing the gacha. The game program or game system will be specifically described.

  3 to 5 show game image examples in which the game screen a is displayed on the display 62 of the game apparatus 5. Here, the consumption medium is expressed as “stone”.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of a conventional paid gacha image. When the gacha a1 is tapped, five stones possessed by the user are consumed and the lottery game contents can be acquired. The display a2 located above the game screen a represents the number of stones possessed by the user. That is, the user has seven stones, and it is necessary to consume five to seven stones in order to draw the gacha a1 once.

  Further, in FIG. 3, tapping the "Buy stone" button a3 located below the game screen a allows the purchase of stones by charging. That is, if the number of stones possessed by the user is less than 5, the user needs to pay for purchasing the stones to purchase the stones.

  4 and 5 show examples of game images for drawing the "special gacha".

  In FIG. 4, a stamina gauge a4 indicating the current stamina value is displayed at the top of the game screen a. The right end of the stamina gauge a4 is the stamina recovery upper limit value. The stamina gauge a4 in FIG. 4 indicates that the stamina is reduced to about 30%.

  A display a2 is arranged immediately below the stamina gauge a4. The display a2 in FIG. 4 indicates that the number of stones possessed by the user is “20 pieces”.

  In the center of the game screen a, selection buttons a5, a5, a5 for selecting the number of stones and the degree (%) of recovery of the stamina corresponding to the number of stones are displayed. Depending on the user's operation, either button can be selected according to the degree of stamina to be recovered.

  A display a6 arranged below the game screen a represents the total number of stones to be consumed for acquiring the gacha ticket (the “predetermined amount”) and the number of stones to be consumed until the total number is reached. ing. That is, the display a6 in FIG. 4 indicates that the predetermined amount is 9, and that the gacha ticket can be acquired by consuming 5 more stones for the purpose (service) other than drawing the gacha.

  Here, it is assumed that the user taps the selection button a5 of "5 stones 50%" to recover the stamina. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, stamina is recovered to about 80%, five stones are consumed, and the display a2 is displayed as "15". The five stones consumed are used for services to recover stamina. Therefore, since the total amount of stones consumed so far has reached the predetermined amount (9 pieces), the gacha ticket is transmitted to the game apparatus 5. The transmission of the gacha ticket is notified to the user by a display a7 arranged below the game screen a.

  Further, in FIG. 5, a "collect" button a8 for stocking the gacha tickets and a "use" button a9 for consuming are displayed. When the "Use" button a9 is tapped by the user's operation, the lottery process for drawing the special gacha is executed.

<Regarding the flow performed by the server device 2 and the game device 5>
The flow of processing performed by the server device 2 and the game device 5 described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the fee is charged based on the operation of the user, the number of paid stones corresponding to the fee is transmitted from the server apparatus 2 to the game apparatus 5. Also, free stones are transmitted from the server device 2 to the game device 5 by clearing a quest in progress of the game or by a login bonus (# 1).

  The number of stones transmitted to the game apparatus 5 is added to the number of stones in the storage unit 55, and the number of stones after the addition is stored in the storage unit 55 (# 2). Here, the numbers of the paid stones and the free stones are separately stored in the storage unit 55. Unless otherwise stated, paid stones and free stones are referred to as “stones” without distinction.

  When one or more services provided in the game are selected by the user's operation, the consumption medium management unit 564 of the game apparatus 5 consumes the stones in the number of the price of the selected service ( # 3).

  That is, the consumption medium managing means 564 subtracts the stones corresponding to the value of the service from the number of stones stored in the storage unit 55. Then, the number of the stones after the reduction is stored again in the storage unit 55.

  The instruction acquisition unit 563 generates a service use request. The request is transmitted to the server device 2 (# 4).

  The service execution means 235 of the server device 2 confirms that the game device 5 has consumed the stone corresponding to the value of the service (# 5), and executes the service of the service selected in step # 3. As a result, the service is provided to the game device 5 (# 6).

  The user of the game apparatus 5 can obtain a predetermined effect such as recovery of the stamina by receiving the service (# 7).

  The counting means 565 of the game apparatus 5 counts the number of stones consumed. Here, in step # 3, since stones have been consumed for purposes (services) other than drawing gacha, the counting means 565 counts the number of stones consumed in step # 3, and the stones have been consumed so far. Add to the number of stones. When it is confirmed that the stones of the predetermined amount or more have been consumed, the counting unit 565 transmits the download request for the gacha ticket to the server device 2 (YES in # 8).

  When the server device 2 receives the gacha ticket download request, the granting means 233 transmits the gacha ticket to the game device 5, and the lottery means 232 performs the lottery processing so that the gacha ticket is used. The lottery process is allowed (# 9). The game device 5 having received the gacha ticket stores the gacha ticket in the storage unit 55 (# 10).

  On the other hand, when it is confirmed in step # 8 that the number of consumed stones does not exceed the predetermined amount, the counting unit 565 does not transmit the gacha ticket download request (NO in # 8). In this case, step # 3 and subsequent steps are repeated by the user's operation.

  When the user operates to input that the gacha ticket is to be consumed from the touch pad 64 of the game apparatus 5 (# 11), the game apparatus 5 transmits a request for downloading the game content by the special gacha to the server apparatus 2. To be done.

  The lottery means 232 of the server device 2 confirms that the gacha ticket has been consumed, and executes the lottery for the special gacha (# 12).

  The game contents selected by the lottery means 232 are transmitted to the game device 5 by the distribution means 234 (# 13).

  The game apparatus 5 stores the received game content in the storage unit 55 (# 14).

  To summarize the above, the game program of the present embodiment causes the control unit 23 (computer) of the server device 2 to select one of the game contents from a plurality of game contents by lottery based on a user operation. A lottery means 232 for executing a lottery process, a service execution means 235 for performing a service execution process for providing a service other than the lottery process to the user in the game, and the consumption consumed by the service execution process. Depending on the consumption amount of the medium, the lottery means is caused to function as a permission means for permitting the lottery processing, and further, the control unit 56 (computer) of the game apparatus 5 is consumed in the lottery processing and the service execution processing. Increase means (consumption medium management means 564) for increasing the consumption medium according to a predetermined condition, and the service execution When the counting result by the counting means 565 reaches a predetermined amount, the permitting means further functions as the counting means 565 that counts the consumption amount of the consumption medium that has been physically consumed. By giving the user a lottery right to execute the lottery process, the assigning unit 233 is allowed to function as the granting unit 233 that permits the lottery process by the lottery unit 232.

<Effect of the invention>
According to the game program of the present embodiment, the lottery means 232 is allowed to execute the lottery process according to the consumption amount of the consumption medium consumed by the service other than the purpose of drawing the gacha, so that the user is charged. The special gacha as much as the gacha can be drawn. As a result, the user can feel the interest in the game by receiving services other than gacha in the game. Then, since the user can eventually draw the special gacha, the aspiration of the user who keeps charging for the paid gacha to obtain the rare game content is suppressed, and the user can feel at ease. You will be able to run the gacha.

  Specifically, when the consumption amount of the consumption medium consumed for the service reaches the predetermined amount, the gacha ticket, which is a lottery right for causing the lottery means 232 to execute the lottery process, is given to the user. Then, the execution of the lottery process by the lottery means 232 is permitted. Therefore, there are more opportunities to use the consumption medium in the game other than the gacha. Therefore, the interest of the game is further improved.

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

  The type of game device 5 is not limited to smartphones, tablets, and personal computers. For example, the game device 5 may be a home-use game machine such as PlayStation (registered trademark) or a portable game machine such as Nintendo DS (registered trademark).

  The game can be applied to various types of games such as role playing games, simulation games, board games, and puzzle games.

  The game medium may include a player character, an item, a reinforcement material, and the like, as well as a card, an avatar, and the like.

  The number of game devices 5 may be one. In addition, a plurality of server devices 2 may be provided and the same processing may be performed in cooperation with each other.

  In the above embodiment, the stone (consumption medium) has been described as a paid stone for a fee and a free stone acquired by a login bonus or the like. However, the stone (consumption medium) may be only the stone for which a charge has been obtained, for example. In other words, stones that have been acquired free of charge due to a login bonus or the like may be excluded.

  In the above embodiment, it has been described that the gacha ticket is given to the user when the consumed stones (consumed medium) exceed the predetermined amount. However, the gacha ticket may be granted depending on the amount of stones (consumption medium) consumed at regular intervals. For example, the server device 2 may give the gacha ticket to the user according to the amount of stones (consumption medium) consumed in one month.

  That is, in the above-described embodiment, the counting unit 565 integrates the consumption amount of the consumption medium consumed in the service execution process during the fixed period (predetermined period), so that the consumption for each fixed period (predetermined period) is increased. The total consumption of media may be counted. In this case, the granting unit 233, which is a granting unit, can grant the gacha ticket to the user according to the count result in the certain period (predetermined period). Therefore, the user has more chances to obtain a gacha ticket.

  In the above embodiment, the special lottery lottery list is described to include more rare game media than the free lottery lottery list. However, the special lottery lottery list may include a game medium partially different from the free lottery lottery list.

  Based on the above, for example, the lottery means 232 determines whether the lottery process is performed according to the consumption amount of the consumption medium consumed by the service execution process or the lottery process is performed without the service execution process. The game contents to be selected can be different. As a result, a user who desires to acquire a rare game content that cannot be acquired without going through the service execution process tries to be provided with a service other than the gacha in the game. Therefore, the interest of the game for the user, who may be able to acquire the rare game contents included only in the special gacha, is naturally improved.

  In the above embodiment, it has been described that the gacha ticket is required to draw the special gacha. However, the special gacha may be drawn by directly consuming the consumption medium as in the conventional example shown in FIG. 3, regardless of the gacha ticket. In that case, it is assumed that the special gacha can be drawn with a consumption amount of the consumption medium that is less than the amount required to acquire the gacha ticket.

  In the above embodiment, it has been described that the gacha ticket is required to draw the special gacha. However, in addition to the special gacha mentioned above, the gacha that can be drawn for free, the gacha that accompanies the consumption of the paid consumption media obtained by charging, and the gacha that accompanies the consumption of the gratis consumption media obtained by clearing the quest, etc. It may be possible to use a gacha ticket. In addition, the types of gachas are the above-mentioned special gachas and other gachas (gachas that can be drawn free of charge, gachas that accompany consumption of paid consumption media obtained by billing, free consumption media obtained through quest clearing, etc. (Gacha associated with the consumption of) and may be only other gachas. That is, in this case, the gacha ticket can be used to draw a game other than the special gacha. Further, the predetermined amount can be set for each type of gacha.

  In the above embodiment, it has been described that the gacha ticket is required to draw the special gacha. However, in order to draw the special gacha, it is sufficient that at least the predetermined amount of stones (consumption medium) is consumed, and at the time when the predetermined amount of stones (consumption medium) is consumed, the user of the gacha ticket Alternatively, the lottery means 232 may automatically perform the lottery process for the special gacha without being assigned to.

  In the above embodiment, the number (amount) of stones (consumption medium) consumed for the purpose of using the service is included in the “predetermined amount”. However, the number (quantity) of stones (consumption media) consumed to directly obtain the game content without the provision of the service, other than the purpose of using the service, is also the “predetermined amount”. It may be included in.

  Even when these other embodiments are adopted, the effects of the present invention are exhibited. It is also possible to appropriately combine this embodiment with other embodiments, and other embodiments.
