Abstract

To secure fairness of a lottery while suppressing the worst consumption risk in a computer game with a lottery as a component of the game.SOLUTION: An information processing device executes a basic lottery for acquiring a character with consumption of game points as a condition, which is a lottery in which winning probability is assigned to each character used in a game. An upper limit number of the number of executions changes depending on the designation by a player or attributes of the player. When the number of executions reaches the upper limit number, a predetermined character is provided to the player. The larger the upper limit number is set, the more advantageous character is provided to the player. Various conditions for providing a character other than the condition that the number of executions reaches the upper limit number may be defined.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

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 plays a character held by the opponent team with each other. Characters have various abilities, and there are characters that are easy to get and characters that are hard to get (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 every time. Since the rare character win 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 with a winning probability of 1% (1/100) is not necessarily obtained if the lottery is executed 100 times. There is a risk in the lottery that the amount of game points consumed to obtain a rare character becomes larger than expected (hereinafter referred to as "worst consumption risk").

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

Patent No. 5829346 JP, 2013-247977, A

  Although the lottery method of Patent Document 1 can increase the possibility of obtaining rare characters, it 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, another problem arises in that it is difficult to set the winning probability of the rare character to be low. For example, in the case of a lottery box containing 50 characters (one rare character), the theoretical maximum number of times of lottery execution for obtaining a rare character (hereinafter referred to as "worst number") is 50 times. However, the rare character winning probability cannot be set to 2% (1/50) or less. On the other hand, if the lottery box contains 5000 characters, the winning probability of the rare character can be lowered to 0.02% (1/5000), but the worst number is 5000 times.

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

The information processing apparatus according to the present invention is a game execution unit that controls the progress of a game based on a game medium owned by a player, and a lottery in which a winning probability is assigned to each game medium, and consumes game elements. A basic lottery execution unit that executes a basic lottery as a condition, and a setting unit that changes the consumption amount of the game element required for satisfying a predetermined condition according to the player.
The basic lottery execution unit provides the player with a more advantageous privilege when the predetermined condition is satisfied and the consumption amount is larger.

  According to the present invention, it is easy to maintain the fairness of the lottery while suppressing the worst consumption risk.

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

  The player possesses a plurality of characters (game contents). Then, it plays a character against the opponent team. The opponent may be a computer or another player connected by a communication network. If you win the match, you can get game points (game elements). Characters have strengths and weaknesses, but the more they compete, the higher the level. The character that has reached the maximum level is further combined with another character (hereinafter referred to as “material character”) to evolve into a stronger character. The player again tries to improve the level of this character. The character is strengthened by repeating level-up and evolution.

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

An upper limit number (threshold value) is set in the basic lottery. 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 condition”), a predetermined character (hereinafter, “ceiling character”) Called) is offered unconditionally. As the ceiling character, a character with a certain degree of rarity is assumed. The player can certainly 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 for 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 104a, 104b, 104c, ..., 104n (hereinafter, collectively referred to as “game terminal 104” when collectively referred to or when there is no particular distinction) are connected 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-dedicated 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 given to each 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.

  The game server 102 includes a communication unit 110, a data processing unit 107, and a data storage unit 108. The communication unit 110 is in charge of communication processing with the game terminal 104 via the Internet 106. The data storage unit 108 stores various data. The data processing unit 107 executes 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 basic lottery setting information (described later with reference to FIG. 5). The count setting storage unit 136 manages information regarding the count setting of the lottery number (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 whether to win or lose when competing with the enemy character according to the attribute value (ability) of the character held by the player. The game execution unit 112 determines superiority or inferiority based on the difference or combination of the attribute value of the character presented by the player and the attribute value of the enemy character, and based on the superiority or inferiority, determines the win or loss of the character while adding randomness. To do. Such a win / loss determination method can be realized by applying an existing technology.
The lottery execution unit 114 executes various lottery 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 the ceiling character to be provided to the player when the number of times the basic lottery is executed reaches the upper limit. The settlement setting unit 116 sets the upper limit number of times (upper limit value). The lottery counting unit 140 counts the number of times the basic lottery is executed and updates a count value (described later) corresponding to the number of executions. The lottery counting unit 140 includes a replacing unit 144 that manages the exchange rate of the count value.
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 accepts operations from the player and is in charge of processing related to the user interface such as image display and audio output. The communication unit 124 is in charge of 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 the data acquired by the U / I unit 122 and the communication unit 124 and the data stored in the data storage unit 128. The data processing unit 126 also functions as an interface for 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. Further, the U / I unit 122 detects various inputs made by the player, and the data processing unit 126 notifies the game server 102 of the input information via the communication unit 124. In accordance with this input information, the data processing unit 107, particularly 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 status of the game. In the computer game of this embodiment, a plurality of types of basic lottery are provided. For example, a player whose player ID is P001 (hereinafter referred to as “player (P001)”) is 40 years old and has 12,000 game points. The player (P001) is executing three basic lottery items, basic lottery items 1 to 3. The player (P002) is 17 years old and holds 4,500 game points. The player (P002) also executes three basic lottery items, basic lottery items 1 to 3.

  In the first embodiment, the basic lottery execution count 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 times of the basic lottery 1 is set to 40 times, and the number of times of execution (count value) is 25 times. That is, the player (P001) can acquire the ceiling character by executing the basic lottery 1 15 more times. On the other hand, the upper limit number of times 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 performed 65 more times.
When the count value of the basic lottery reaches the upper limit number of times, the count value is reset to zero. The upper limit number is a milestone in 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 times the basic lottery can be executed unless a limit number to be described later is set.

On the other hand, for the player (P002), the upper limit number of times 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 times 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 changes depending on the player. A method of setting the upper limit number of times according to the player will be described later.

FIG. 3 shows player attributes and possession states. Although age is illustrated as an example of the player attribute, in addition to this, a predetermined period, for example, the amount of game points consumed in the last month, a rank indicating the game proficiency level of the player, play time, number of login days, sex, place of residence, financial resources, Various information such as occupation may be registered.
As an example of the possessed state, the possessed game points are illustrated, but in addition to this, various information such as the number and types of the possessed characters and items may be registered.

FIG. 4 is a data structure diagram of the character information storage unit 132.
The character is identified by the character ID. The character information storage unit 132 manages the attributes of each character. A rare rank is given to the character. The rare rank is an index of the difficulty of acquiring the character and the height of the parameter (attribute value) set for the character (strength of the character) in advance. The higher the rare rank, the harder it is to obtain and generally a stronger character.
A character with a high 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 10%, which is a relatively high probability. The initial setting value of the hit point (physical strength) of the character (C0001) is 10. The character improves in level by repeating battles and synthesizing characters as materials, and the attribute value of the character changes advantageously for the player as the level increases. For example, the higher the level of the character (C0001), the higher the hit points.

The maximum level (master level) of the character (C0001) is 50. When the character (C0001) reaches the maximum level, the maximum number of hit points is 30. The character (C0001) can only be upgraded to level 50, but if, for example, the same type of character (C0001) or a predetermined character (item) is used as a material, the character (C0001) becomes stronger (C0005). ).
Even a weak character can be evolved into a stronger character by leveling up to the maximum level and combining 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) has a higher rank and a lower winning probability (higher rarity) than the character (C0001) before evolution. The initial setting 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 advantageous to the player.

The character (C0005) can be evolved in two types. When the character (C0003) is combined as the material character, the character (C0005) evolves to the character (C0011). On the other hand, when the character (C0012) is combined as the material character, the character (C0005) evolves to the character (C0024).
Both the character (C0011) and the character (C0024) are stronger than the character (C0005).

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

In FIG. 3, the winning probability is shown as a unique value, but it may be set as a wide value 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 the winning probability in another basic lottery 2 may be set to 12%. The winning probability may be changed according to other parameters such as the upper limit number of times.
In FIG. 4, hit points are illustrated as the attributes of the character, but various attributes such as attack power, defense power, agility, and magical power may be set in addition to this.

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. For the basic lottery (L01), four types of upper limit numbers of 50 times, 80 times, 100 times, and 150 times can be set as the upper limit number of times. In the basic lottery (L01) when the upper limit number of times 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), there is only one type of ceiling character, and only one ceiling character (C0002) can be acquired. In the basic lottery (L01: 50), any character is randomly selected from the character group whose character ID is in the range of C0001 to C0500 by the restoration extraction method.

  In the basic lottery (L01: 80) when the upper limit number of times is 80, two characters (C0002) and (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 ceiling character (C0002) is initially set to level 1, and the ceiling character (C0013) is initially set to level 3. In the basic lottery (L01: 80), any character is randomly selected from the character group whose character ID is in the range of C0001 to C0500 by the restoration extraction method.

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

In addition to the types of ceiling characters, the number of ceiling characters that can be acquired, and the initial setting level, the advantages may be controlled by the evolution of ceiling characters. For example, both the basic lottery (L01: 80) and the basic lottery (L01: 50) ceiling characters are characters (C0002), but the basic lottery (L01: 80) is not the character (C0002) but its evolved character. (C0008) may be acquired (see FIG. 4).
Alternatively, the character (C0008) may be obtained even in the basic lottery (L01: 50), but the character (C0008) may be obtained 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 from the character group whose character ID is in the range of C0600 to C1200 by the restoration extraction method.

  You may change the character which is a lottery target (population) 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. No, you may set a rare character with a rarity.

  Depending on the upper limit number of times, in other words, depending on the amount of settlement consumption, by changing the type and number of ceiling characters, the level at the time of acquisition, the number of acquirable characters, the range of the character targeted for lottery, the balance of cost and return Can be adjusted.

  A list of ceiling characters that can be acquired 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), the character (C0020), the character (C0021), and the character (C0021) are registered in the privilege list of the basic lottery (L01: 150). Four characters (C0050) are registered.

When the count value (execution count) reaches the upper limit count, the basic lottery execution unit 118 displays the privilege list and the acquirable number to the player via the U / I unit 122. The player selects any number of acquirable characters from the ceiling characters registered in the privilege list. 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, when the basic lottery (L01: 50) is executed, the ceiling character has no choice and the character (C0002) is provided.
The privilege list is not limited to being displayed when the count value reaches the upper limit count, and may be displayed to the player before the upper limit count is reached. It may be displayed before the upper limit count is determined, or at a predetermined timing after the upper limit count is set, specifically, after a predetermined time from the determination of the upper limit count, or even if the execution count is displayed at the predetermined count. Good.

In 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 let 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 is more likely to be given the selection right as the upper limit number is larger, in other words, as the settlement consumption amount is larger.

  Plural types of privilege lists may be set for one type of upper limit 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 execution unit 114 may randomly select one of them. According to such a control method, it is difficult to know what kind of character will be obtained when the maximum number of times is reached, so that it is easy to increase the player's expectation.

  Similarly, the lottery execution unit 114 may randomly select one of a plurality of types of character ranges when the upper limit number of times is designated. 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, the 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 gives an instruction to execute the basic lottery, the basic lottery execution unit 118 displays the upper limit selection screen 120 on the screen of the game terminal 104. The upper limit selection screen 120 shows the upper limit number of times as 50 times, 80 times, 100 times, 150 times and 200 times.
According to the upper limit selection screen 120 illustrated in FIG. 6, the ceiling rank of the ceiling character provided when the upper limit number is 50 is 4. When the upper limit number is 80, two rare rank 4 characters are provided as ceiling characters. The player selects the upper limit number of times while taking into account the amount (cost) of settlement of game points required to reach the upper limit number of times and the type and number of ceiling characters (return) obtained when the upper limit number of times 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 manually select an arbitrary number such as 55 or 56 as the upper limit number.
The lottery execution unit 114 may randomly select any upper limit number from a plurality of types of upper limit numbers.

  When the number of times the basic lottery is executed (count value) reaches the upper limit number of times, the “settlement condition” is satisfied, and the ceiling character is provided. The payment 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 amount of game points consumed when performing the basic lottery reaches a predetermined threshold. Further, a threshold may be set for the consumption speed of the game points. When the amount of game points consumed per unit time, for example, 5 minutes, reaches a predetermined threshold value, the settlement condition may be satisfied. The player may be able to select or set such a threshold value (time and amount).

The player may select a desired character and set a settlement condition such as the upper limit number of times according to the character. For example, when performing a basic lottery including the character 1 as a lottery target (population) or a basic lottery using the character 1 as a ceiling character, an upper limit number of times associated with the character 1 in advance may be set.
Further, the upper limit number (settlement condition) may be changed according to whether or not the player owns the character 1, the number of possessed characters 1, the number of evolutions of the character 1, and the like.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the process of basic lottery.
When the player instructs the game terminal 104 to execute one of the basic lottery, the game terminal 104 transmits the basic lottery execution instruction 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 and executes the 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 of S18), the basic lottery execution unit 118 provides the player with a ceiling character (S20). Specifically, after the ceiling character is selected, the character information registered in the character information storage unit 132 is transmitted from the communication unit 110 to the game terminal 104, and the data processing unit 126 stores the character information in the data storage unit 128. register. As a result, the series of basic lottery processing is completed, and the next new basic lottery processing can be started.

  In the present embodiment, the upper limit number is changed according to the player. Here, "according to the player" includes not only the case where the player designates on the upper limit selection screen 120 but also the case where the player automatically selects the player attribute.

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

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

When the limit number of times under 15 is 50, the settlement setting unit 116 can select either 25 or 50 as the upper limit number. When the limit number under 20 is 100, the settlement setting unit 116 can be selected. May be selectable as the upper limit number of times of 50 times, 80 times, and 100 times. If the player is 21 years old or older, the limit number of times may not be set. If the limit number of times of being 10 years old or younger 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 number may be adjusted so as to suppress the game point consumption of the younger generation as well as suppress the game point consumption of the older generation.

  The game execution unit 112 may acquire the player attribute from contract information registered in the game terminal 104 in advance. In addition to age, the settable range of the upper limit number of times may be changed according to the amount of game points consumed last month. For example, if the amount of game points consumed 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 game points this month, or vice versa. The settable range may be expanded.

  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 or type of owned characters (rare rank), the progress of the game, and the remaining capacity of the game points of the player. It is considered that a player with a good game experience can appropriately control the consumption of game points. The settlement setting unit 116 may determine that this player has a wealth of game experience when the play time or the number of login days is larger than a predetermined threshold.

The upper limit number of selectable ranges may be set based on the level and type of character required by the player, whether or not the player already has the ceiling character, and the like. When the player does not own the character 1, the upper limit number of times of the basic lottery using the character 1 as the ceiling character is set to 100 times, and when the player holds 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 times may be set to 200 for the basic lottery in which the material character required to evolve the character 1 is the ceiling character.
According to such a setting method, although the amount of settlement consumed for acquiring the character 1 for the first time is small, it is possible to control the game property so that it is difficult to acquire the second character and thereafter and the material character. That is, it is possible to realize a game property that is easy to acquire but difficult to arrange, and easy to acquire but hard to grow.

As for the player who has a surplus of game point consumption, for example, the model of the game terminal 104, the amount of data communication so far, game point information consumed in the past in the game, game point information consumed in other related games, It may be determined from information such as.
The settlement setting unit 116 may increase the settable range of the upper limit number when it is determined that the player's game point consumption power is high.

  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 changeable midway (hereinafter referred to as “upper limit change”). For example, when the count value is 30 in the basic lottery (L01: 80), the upper limit change to the basic lottery (L01: 50) may be allowed. You may charge a cost for changing the upper limit. For example, the upper limit change may be permitted instead of consuming 10 game points.

  If the character range targeted for the lottery changes by changing the upper limit number of times of the basic lottery, the upper limit change may be a merit to the player. For example, when the target rare character A is won in the 10th lottery execution in the basic lottery (L01: 80), the player selects another rare character B rather than continuing the basic lottery (L01: 80) 70 more times. You may want to try the basic lottery including L01: 50. Therefore, when changing the upper limit, the game balance may be maintained by imposing a cost 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 that is the lottery target. For example, when the target rare character A is won in the 10th lottery execution in the basic lottery (L01: 80), the average rare rank value of the characters acquired up to the 10th basic lottery in the lottery target character group (or The higher the (expected value), the higher the cost may be. The more rare characters can be obtained in the basic lottery, that is, the lower the average rare rank of the characters that have not been obtained by the 10th basic lottery in the character group targeted for the lottery (the unobtained rare It is considered that the player wants to change the upper limit (change of the basic lottery) as the number of characters decreases.
In such a case, the cost may be increased to balance the merit of the player with the cost (compensation). Alternatively, when the player's tendency to change the upper limit becomes strong, the cost may be lowered to set the upper limit.

  The basic lottery execution unit 118 may set the basic lottery according to a request from the 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 that the player wants is not always high in rare rank. For example, although the rank is not so high, there are cases where the player wants to add a character to the collection, and characters which the game developer did not expect become popular. If such a character is set as the ceiling character, the game operator can easily attract the player to the basic lottery. While maintaining the rarity of rare characters that have a high rank and greatly affect the game difficulty and worldview, you can obtain popular characters depending on the game points even if they are not so affected It may be set to.

  It is assumed that the player needs both character 1 and character 2. The count value of the basic lottery in which the character 1 is the ceiling character is 100, and the count value of the basic lottery in which the character 2 is 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 less than 250 (= 100 + 150), which is the sum of both count values. The player may be given a merit by setting the upper limit number smaller than the total value of the upper limit numbers when the two types of basic lottery are individually executed.

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

When the limited number of times is set based on age and the like, the player having a smaller limited number of times has a difficulty in obtaining the rare character. Therefore, when a player with a small limited number of times and a player with a large limited number of times, or a player with a small limited number of times and a player with no limited number of times played, the player with a small limited number of times is disadvantageous.
As one solution, it is possible to prohibit interaction between players with different limits. 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, and the respective game fields are isolated, and the number of times of limitation is different. The players may be controlled so that they cannot be friends. Further, in addition, players having different limited 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 weaker player 1 may be provided with the auxiliary sword character, or a part of the characters possessed by the stronger player 2 may compete. The difference in ability may be adjusted by performing a process such as sabotage.

  In addition to the limited number of times, the pace of consuming game points may be controlled by the frequency of executing the basic lottery. 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 up to 10 times per day. In this case, in any case, it takes at least 5 days to acquire the ceiling character. Since the number of days for acquiring the ceiling character does not change, it is possible to suppress the difference in ability between the players having different upper limit numbers. Especially for young players, it is difficult to increase the execution frequency of the basic lottery. Therefore, the upper limit number of times of the other players may be controlled to be lowered according to 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 be incremented by 1, may be 0.5, or may be 2. In this way, the range of increase in the count value when the basic lottery is executed once is referred to as the “up value”. The up value in the first embodiment is fixed to 1, but the up value in the second embodiment is various.
In the second embodiment, in order to clarify that the number of executions and the count value do not always match, the term “upper limit value” is used instead of the upper limit number.

The game is identified by the game ID, and the attributes of each game are managed. In the second embodiment, the count value is collectively managed not only in a plurality of basic lottery but also in a plurality of games in which the basic lottery is a constituent element of the game. The count value in the second embodiment is characterized in that it becomes an "asset" of a player that can be used in a plurality of games.
The player can transfer the count value accumulated in the game 1 to the 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 basic lottery (G01: L02) is easier to increase the count value than the basic lottery (G01: L01). If the upper limit values are the same, the basic lottery (G01: L02) is more advantageous to the player because it requires less game points to acquire the ceiling character.

The average rare rank of the character group targeted for the basic lottery (G01: L01) is 4.3, and the average rare rank of the character group targeted for the basic lottery (G01: L02) is 4.1. The basic lottery (G01: L01) is easier to acquire 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 value is small. Therefore, it is possible to maintain the game balance while clarifying the individuality of the two basic lottery.
The correlation coefficient between the two may be set to be negative so that the average rare rank decreases as the up value increases.

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”). You may perform up lottery every time you perform the basic lottery, such as when determining the upper limit value, when selecting the basic lottery, when starting the game, when logging in for the first time of the day, when notifying the game result, etc. The up lottery may be executed at an arbitrary timing.
Further, the up lottery may be performed again after a predetermined period has elapsed since the up lottery was performed. For example, the up lottery may be performed when logging in, and the up lottery may be performed again one hour after login. Note that, for example, an up-lottery may be performed every day at 0 o'clock and a notification may be given 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.

When a character having a predetermined rare rank or higher, for example, a character having a rare rank 5 or higher is assigned in the basic lottery, 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 (up value is 1), it is assumed that the character 1 of rare rank 7 is won in the 20th basic lottery (G01: L01). The ceiling rank of the ceiling character in the basic lottery (G01: L01) is assumed to be 5. Since the player has acquired the valuable character 1, the player may lose the will 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, it is necessary to carry out another 30 times of lottery in order to reach the upper limit value in the basic lottery (G01: L01), but when the up value is 3, the number of times of lottery execution is 10 times. Since the up value is increased, the player is given an incentive to perform the basic lottery (G01: L01) until the count value reaches the upper limit value.
The same effect can be achieved by adjusting the upper limit value from 50 to 30 instead of changing the up value.

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

The up value may increase but may not decrease until the upper limit value is reached. Alternatively, the up value may be increased or decreased each time the basic lottery is executed. The up value may be set to a predetermined lower limit value, for example, within the range of 1 or less.
The up value may be increased when a rare character with a high rank is assigned, the up value may be increased when the character is in a predetermined time zone or in a predetermined area, or a predetermined character or a predetermined item. You may increase the up value only when you own. 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 the “evolution lottery” every time the basic lottery is executed. Then, when the evolution lottery is won, the evolved character of the ceiling character may be set as a new ceiling character. In the evolutionary lottery, a winning probability of about 0.1% is set. According to such a control method, the player can expect not only the winning or failure of the basic lottery but also the winning or failure of the evolutionary lottery, so that the interest of the game can be deepened.

  In the evolutionary lottery, the ceiling character may be evolved in two or more stages at once with a winning probability of about 0.01%. Further, a lottery for changing the ceiling character to another character more advantageous to the player, a lottery for changing the attribute value of the ceiling character to a more advantageous setting for the player, a lottery for giving game points or items as a bonus in addition to the ceiling character, etc. Various adjunct lottery may be conducted.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram for explaining a method of exchanging count values.
In the second embodiment, the count values are shared between the plurality of basic lottery games and the plurality of games. In FIG. 9, it is assumed that a player holds 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). A large up value (CU) of the basic lottery (G01: L02) means that a count value is easily accumulated in the basic lottery (G01: L02), which results in a kind of inflation state.

  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 basic lottery (G02: L01) has a small up value (CU) means that the count value in the basic lottery (G02: L01) is difficult to accumulate, which results in a kind of deflation state.

  The value per count value 1 is low in the basic lottery (G01: L02) because it is easy to accumulate the count value, and the value per count value 1 is high in the basic lottery (G02: L01) because it is difficult to accumulate the count value .. For example, when the number of game points required to execute the basic lottery once is 100, 100 points in the basic lottery (G01: L02) correspond to the count value of 1.5, but 100 points in the basic lottery (G02: L01). The point corresponds to a count value of 0.5. That is, the count value 1 in the basic lottery (G02: L01) is three times as valuable as 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, in reality, it is not necessary to be 3: 1 and the original value and the exchange rate may be deviated from each other like 3: 2 or 4: 1. Details will be described later.

  In this way, even when the value of the count value is different, the transfer based on the real value of the count value is possible in a plurality of basic lottery games 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 transferred to the basic lottery (G02: L01). According to such a process, it is possible to selectively allocate the resource of the count value to the basic lottery having a small amount of settlement consumption.

  The game server 102 may set an event for a limited time period and set a basic lottery (hereinafter referred to as “event basic lottery”) that can be executed only during this period. In the event basic lottery, rare characters 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 carry out the event basic lottery with peace of mind.

  The up value of the event basic lottery may be set higher than that of the normal basic lottery. In this case, since the count value can be earned in 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 values of the two basic lottery, but the exchange rate may not necessarily 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) to shift to the basic lottery (G01: L02).
A basic lottery may be prepared in which the count value is easy to accumulate in spite of the small number of rare characters and a basic lottery in which the count value is difficult to accumulate in spite of the large number of rare characters.

  The exchange rate does not have to be fixed and may be volatile like currency exchange. The exchange rate may be momentarily changed according to the popularity of the basic lottery or the rare rank of the character that is the subject of the lottery. According to such a control method, an arbitrage strategy in which a more advantageous basic lottery is executed at a good timing to obtain a profit in the game can be incorporated as a game property.

  The number of game points does not have to be one. For example, the basic lottery may be executed by consuming the item, or the basic lottery may be executed by deleting the character. As described above, there may be a plurality of types of game elements consumed for executing the basic lottery. Further, the up value and the upper limit value may be changed according to the type of game element.

  Not limited to the average rare rank, the up value may be set according to the highest rare rank of the character targeted for the lottery. 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 the plurality of basic lottery, the up value may be set large for the basic lottery in which the challenge right is not given unless the game is sufficiently advanced. According to such a control method, it becomes easy to motivate the player to continue playing 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 higher the frequency of executing one basic lottery, 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 lottery uniformly.
The up value may be linked with the position information. For example, the up value may be increased only when the player is located in the affiliated store. Also, the up value may be increased for a predetermined time when the player purchases the affiliated product. The information that the player has purchased the affiliated product may be acquired by reading the information written on the receipt issued by the store with the terminal owned by the player.

  The up value may be changed for each game instead of each basic lottery. For example, for a newly released game, the up value may be set high until the number of players who downloaded the game exceeds 100,000. Such a method facilitates early recruitment of participants in a new game. Further, the up value is usually set to be low, and when the number of players who downloaded the game exceeds 1 million, the up value may be set to be high.

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 of times (upper limit value) can be set according to the player's selection or the player's attribute. The player can always acquire the ceiling character by executing the basic lottery until the upper limit value is reached. 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 upper limit number is small, the rare rank (merit to the player) of the ceiling character is adjusted to be low, and when the upper limit number is large, the ceiling rank of the ceiling character is set to be high, whereby the cost of game point consumption and the return of the ceiling character are returned. The game balance can be maintained by balancing the above.

  The character that the player wants and the important character that has a great influence on the progress of the game do not always match. Not only the strength of the character, but also various sensory elements such as design may increase the popularity of the character. The world view of the game is cultivated not only by the settings of the game developer but also by the game interpretation of the player. By setting the character that the player likes as the ceiling character, it is possible to achieve both the two propositions of maintaining the game balance and suppressing the worst consumption risk.

  It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and modifications, and the constituent elements can be modified and embodied without departing from the scope of the invention. Various inventions may be formed by appropriately combining a plurality of constituent elements disclosed in the above-described embodiments and modifications. Further, some constituent elements may be deleted from all the constituent elements shown in the above-described embodiments and modifications.

  Although the game system 100 has been described as including a plurality of game terminals 104 and one game server 102, some of the functions of the game terminal 104 may be realized by the game server 102, or some of the functions of the game server 102 may be realized. Some may be allocated by the gaming terminal 104. In addition, a third device other than the game terminal 104 and the game server 102 may take part of the function. The aggregate of each function of the game terminal 104 and each function of the game server 102 described in FIG. 2 can be generally understood as one “information processing device (game device)”. How to distribute the plurality of functions required to realize the present invention to one or more pieces of hardware is based on the processing capability of each piece of hardware and the specifications required for the game system 100. It may be decided.

  The material character disappears due to the synthetic evolution, but after disappearing, it may change to a game point or another character.

  The player may be given the right to execute the basic lottery when not only the consumption of the game points but also some event condition such as victory of the competition is established. In the game, the characters may be stylized as cards, figures, and the like. The character may be given as a gift from another player, may be given by playing during the event period set by the game execution unit 112, or may be cleared by clearing the game stage set by the game execution unit 112. It may be provided as a condition.

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

For example, the basic lottery execution unit 118 accumulates experience values in the background each 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 rare character 1 obtained as a ceiling character has a higher initial setting level at the time of acquisition.
Not limited to experience values, some additional benefits such as game points, items, skill levels of characters, material characters, etc. may be provided.

The granted experience value may change according to the count value accumulated until the rare character 1 is won. For example, when the rare character 1 is assigned in the first basic lottery, no experience value is added, and when the rare character 1 is assigned in the tenth basic lottery, only the first experience value is added, and the 20th time is added. When the rare character 1 is assigned 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 above control method, even when the rare character 2 different from the ceiling character is assigned in the basic lottery, it is easy to motivate the user to continue the basic lottery to acquire the ceiling character 1. This is because it is attractive to the player that the ceiling character 1 is provided with many experience values.

  When the count value reaches the upper limit value, the upper limit value of the next basic lottery may be lowered. For example, when the basic lottery with the upper limit number of 80 times is selected, if the upper limit number is lowered to 70 times, it becomes easier for the player to motivate the challenge of 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 character acquired in the basic lottery. For example, if you can't acquire a character with a rare rank of 5 or higher, even if you repeat the basic lottery until the upper limit is reached, adjust the upper limit of the next selected basic lottery or increase the up value. You may 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 does not obtain a desired result in the basic lottery can easily motivate the player to challenge the next basic lottery.

  When a character is disposed (discarded, sold, exchanged, etc.) within a predetermined time after allocating any character in the basic lottery, it can be estimated that the player is not satisfied with the character. Therefore, the dissatisfied points may be added each time such a disposing action is performed, and when the dissatisfied points reach a predetermined value, the basic lottery setting condition may be changed advantageously for the player.

  A count value or an experience value may be given to the player as a privilege in response to a login bonus or a friend application as a network game. For example, when the number of friends who enjoy the same game exceeds 10, the count value or the up value may be increased.

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

  Furthermore, the up value may be changed according to the consumption of the game points without the basic lottery. In this case, it is preferable to set the consumption amount of game points higher than that in the case of being accompanied by the basic lottery.

FIG. 10 is a correlation diagram summarizing main mutual influence relationships of various parameters.
As described above, the basic lottery settings can be changed according to various conditions such as the player's attributes and 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.
Ownership status:
It indicates the type and number of characters owned by the player, the amount of items and game points owned by the player.
Player attribute:
Shows the player's profile such as the player's age, gender, financial resources, and game experience.
Lottery result:
Indicates the type and value of the character obtained by the basic lottery.
Event:
In addition to events set in the game server 102, basic lottery and game popularity are also included.
Time limit:
This section shows the basic lottery execution restrictions per a predetermined period.
Maximum number of times (upper limit):
The count value required to acquire the ceiling character is shown. Corresponds to the settlement consumption.
Lottery conditions:
The degree of expectation (advantage) for the basic lottery, such as the type of character targeted for the lottery, is shown.
Up value:
The increase range of the count value when the basic lottery is executed once is shown.
Benefits:
When the count value reaches the upper limit value, it indicates the type or number of characters provided to the player or the possibility of selection. The privilege is not limited to the ceiling character and may be any privilege provided when the upper limit is reached, such as items and game points.
Exchange rate:
The exchange rate when transferring the count value between a plurality of games and a plurality of basic lottery is shown.

For example, when the player is a young player (player attribute), the limited number of times is set low, and when the limited number of times is low, the selection range of the upper limit number (upper limit value) is limited. As shown in FIG. 10, the player attribute affects the limited number of times, and the limited number of times affects the upper limit number.
If the result of the lottery is not advantageous to the player, the merit that the upper limit value of the next basic lottery is lowered or the up value is raised is provided. As shown in FIG. 10, the lottery result affects the upper limit number, and the upper limit number affects the up value.
The respective parameters shown in FIG. 10 are merely those obtained by selectively extracting the main ones in the present embodiment, and the relationship between them is not limited to those shown in FIG. 10, and various settings are possible.

The benefits provided as a result of the basic lottery are not limited to characters. For example, any items, game points, event tickets, etc. that are beneficial to the player may be used.
Although the basic lottery is described as the restoration extraction, the present invention can be applied to the non-restoration extraction method.

  Although it has been described that the upper limit number (upper limit value) is changed according to the player attribute or the like, the initial set value of the up value or the count value may be changed instead of the upper limit value. If it is comprehensively expressed, the game balance may be controlled by increasing or decreasing the consumption amount (adjustment consumption amount) of the game points required to reach the upper limit value, depending on the player. For example, when the player has a small number of game points, the upper limit value may be set low, the upper limit value may be fixed, and the count value may be started from 10 instead of zero, 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 amount of game points consumed. For example, even when the number of game points required to execute the basic lottery once is 100 points, the lottery right may be given with 50 points for the first time. Instead, the count value may be set such that only 0.5 which is half the normal value is added. Further, the addition of the count may be changed depending on whether the lottery is performed by consuming the game points or not. For example, when a lottery is performed by consuming game points obtained by billing, the up value is 2, and when a lottery is conducted by consuming game points (obtained regardless of billing) of game results or lottery tickets, it is up. The value may be 1.

  The accumulated count value and experience value may be exchangeable between players. For example, suppose there is a player A who is seeking a rare character 1 that can be acquired in a certain basic lottery. Rare character 1 is not a ceiling character. When converted from the winning probability, it is assumed that the expected count value expected to acquire this 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 the rare character 1 can be obtained.

On the other hand, it is assumed that there is a player B who owns the rare character 1. At this time, the player A may obtain the rare character 1 instead of giving the count value of 600 minutes to the player B. The player A can certainly get the rare character 1 by passing the count value 600, and the player B can get many count values for the rare character 1.
In the present embodiment, the game points, the count value, and the character (privilege) have a commutative relationship with each other. The character may be converted into game points, or the count value may be converted into character.

From the above description, the following inventions are recognized.
A1. A game execution unit that controls the progress of the game based on the game medium owned by the player,
A basic lottery execution unit that executes a basic lottery on condition that consumption of game elements is a lottery in which a winning probability is assigned to each game medium,
A setting unit that changes the amount of consumption of the game element required to satisfy the predetermined condition according to the player,
The information processing device, wherein the basic lottery execution unit provides the player with a privilege regardless of the result of the lottery when the predetermined condition is satisfied.

  Regardless of the lottery result, when a predetermined condition such as the count value reaching the upper limit value is satisfied, the player may be provided with a privilege such as a game content or an item. The privilege may be common to all players, but in this case, there is a possibility that it becomes unfair for the player 1 who is likely to meet the above condition and the player 2 who is difficult to meet the above condition. As one method, a method of separating the game fields of the player 1 and the player 2 (prohibiting player interaction) can be considered. In this case, the advantage of player 1 does not affect player 2.

  When the same privilege is given to the player 1 who is likely to meet the condition and the player 2 who is not likely to meet the condition, the above condition is likely to be met in the next basic lottery, such as setting a high up value for the player 2 in the next basic lottery. May be set as follows. In the case of the player 1, instead of granting the privilege, the up value of the next basic lottery may be set low, so that the above condition may not be easily established 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.
