An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<1. Overall configuration of game system>
First, an example of the overall configuration of the game system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the game system 1 has a plurality of terminal devices 3 (only one is shown in FIG. 1) operated by a plurality of players, and a server 5. The terminal device 3 and the server 5 are communicatively connected via a network NW such as a LAN or the Internet. The network NW may be wireless or wired. Further, although the server 5 is configured by one computer in FIG. 1, it may be configured by a plurality of computers.

The terminal device 3 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet computer, a portable game machine, or the like. However, the present invention is not limited to these, and may be, for example, a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a stationary game machine, or the like. The terminal device 3 has a touch panel 7 on which various displays and various input operations by the player are performed. The player makes a desired operation input by touching the touch panel 7 with a finger, a pen, or the like.

The detection method of the touch panel 7 is not particularly limited, but various detection methods such as a resistance film method, an electrostatic capacity method, an optical method, and an electromagnetic induction method can be adopted. The terminal device 3 may include an input unit such as a button or a switch in addition to the touch panel 7.

The server 5 (an example of an information processing device) is a so-called server computer. The server 5 accepts the access from the terminal device 3 of each player who receives the game service via the network NW, accumulates and manages the game information of each player in the recording device, and makes each player online via the network NW. Providing game services.

As a form of providing a game service by the server 5, a game program (also referred to as application software) is installed in the server 5, and the game operation is not executed by the terminal device 3, but the operation input of the player at the terminal device 3 is performed. There is a mode in which the server 5 executes the game in response to the request and the execution result is transmitted to the terminal device 3 of each player. For example, the server 5 may provide a so-called browser game in which a game can be played by a web browser installed in the terminal device 3 of each player. Also, the server 5 may provide a so-called cloud game in which the game video resulting from the execution of the game on the server 5 is transmitted to the terminal device 3 in, for example, a streaming format. Alternatively, the server 5 may provide a so-called social game that is executed by application software created based on an operating environment such as an API (application programming interface) that operates on a web browser in an SNS (social networking service). .. Note that a part of the game program may be installed in the terminal device 3 so that the game process is partially executed not only in the server 5 but also in the terminal device 3.

<2. Functional configuration of server>
Next, an example of the functional configuration related to the lottery game among the functional configurations of the server 5 will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, the server 5 includes a virtual prize database 9, a winning probability acquisition processing unit 11, a first probability distribution change processing unit 13, a user interface processing unit 15, and a lottery execution processing unit 17. ..

The virtual gift database 9 stores, for each lottery game executed by the server 5, a plurality of virtual gifts provided in the lottery game, classified into a plurality of types. The “virtual prize” mentioned here is a game character (including a character card or the like) or an item (for example, a weapon, armor, orthosis, an item having various effects, etc.) that can be used in various games. The lottery game may be executed as a standalone game, or may be executed on another type of game such as a role playing game, a simulation game, an action game, or the like.

In addition, a storage (not shown) is set for each player in the virtual gift database 9, and virtual gifts acquired by the player are stored in the storage.

A probability recording unit (not shown) is set for each player in the virtual gift database 9, and the winning probability set for each type of virtual gift in the probability recording unit and the virtual gifts classified by each type. The winning probability set for each is recorded. Although the details will be described later, the winning probability is changed manually or automatically by using a privilege, and the winning probability before and after the change is recorded in the probability recording unit.

The winning probability acquisition processing unit 11 acquires a winning probability set for each of a plurality of types into which a plurality of virtual prizes to be drawn are classified. The “type” is a type set for classifying each virtual gift according to the value (rareness, ability, efficacy value, etc.) in the game, and includes, for example, “normal”, “rare”, and “super rare”. ", etc. A winning probability of 100% is distributed to each type at an appropriate rate.

The first probability distribution change processing unit 13 changes the distribution of the winning probability of a specific type for each of the virtual gifts classified into the specific type among the plurality of types based on the input by the player. As a result, the player can arbitrarily change the distribution of the winning probability of a specific type (for example, “super rare” or “rare” in the above example) to each virtual gift. The distribution of the winning probabilities can be changed, for example, when the player uses a predetermined privilege. The predetermined privilege is, for example, acquired by the player as a reward for completing a predetermined quest or mission, and the usable period and the number of times of use are limited, for example, it can be used only once for a limited period. In addition to the case of using the privilege, there is a period in which the distribution of the winning probability can be changed, for example, it can be changed once a day only during an event for a limited time, or can be changed twice a month freely. The number of times may be limited according to the period.

The user interface processing unit 15 provides a user interface that allows the player to arbitrarily specify the distribution of the winning probability for each virtual prize. The mode of the user interface is not particularly limited as long as the player can arbitrarily specify the distribution of the winning probability for each virtual prize, but is, for example, a numerical value input box, a pull-down menu, a slide bar or the like. The first probability distribution change processing unit 13 changes the distribution of the winning probabilities based on the designation by the user interface.

The lottery execution processing unit 17 executes a lottery for virtual gifts based on the distribution of the winning probabilities that have been set. The selected virtual gift is provided to the player and stored in the player's storage in the virtual gift database 9.

Note that the processing and the like in each processing unit described above is not limited to an example of sharing of these processing, and may be processed by a smaller number of processing units (for example, one processing unit), In addition, it may be processed by a further subdivided processing unit. The functions of the processing units described above are implemented by a game program executed by a CPU 501 (see FIG. 18) described later. For example, some of them are dedicated integrated circuits such as ASIC and FPGA, and other electric circuits. It may be implemented by an actual device such as a circuit. Furthermore, each of the processing units described above is not limited to the case where all of them are mounted on the server 5 side, and some or all of them may be mounted on the terminal device 3 side.

<3. Game screen>
Next, an example of the game screen of the lottery game according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the lottery game screen. In the example shown in FIG. 3, a lottery start screen 19, a win probability individual display button 21, virtual prize type designation buttons 23, 25, 27, and a privilege use button 29 are displayed on the lottery game screen 18.

When the player operates the lottery start button 19, the lottery execution processing unit 17 executes the lottery. When the win probability individual display button 21 is operated, the win probabilities are individually displayed for all virtual prizes of the types designated by the type designation buttons 23, 25, and 27.

In the example shown in FIG. 3, virtual gifts are classified into, for example, three types, “normal”, “rare”, and “super rare”. On each type designation button 23, 25, 27, the winning probability is displayed together with the type name. In this example, the "normal" winning probability is 80%, which is the highest, that is, the rare value is set to be the lowest. In addition, the winning probability of "super rare" is 5%, which is the lowest, that is, the rare value is set to be the highest. Also, the winning probability of "rare" is 15%, that is, it is set to a rare value intermediate between "normal" and "super rare".

The number of types of virtual gifts is not limited to three, and may be two or four or more, for example. Also, the names of the types are not limited to the above, and other names such as “Ultra Rare”, “Legend”, and “Five Stars” may be used.

4A to 4C show examples of individual display screens of winning probabilities. For example, if the winning probability individual display button 21 is operated after the type designation button 23 is operated to designate “normal”, as shown in FIG. The winning probabilities are individually displayed for all virtual prizes classified as “normal”. In the example shown in FIG. 4A, the winning probabilities of 40 character cards N-1 to N-40 are individually displayed. The total of the winning probabilities of all the individually displayed cards is set to be equal to the winning probability (80% in this example) set for each type shown in FIG. In this example, the winning probabilities of the respective cards are set to be equal (80%/40=2%), but the respective cards may be different.

Further, for example, when the type designation button 25 is operated and “rare” is designated, and the winning probability individual display button 21 is operated, as shown in FIG. 4B, the individual display screen 31 is displayed. Winning probabilities are individually displayed for all virtual prizes classified as “rare”. In the example shown in FIG. 4B, the winning probabilities of the 10 character cards R-1 to R-10 are individually displayed. The total of the winning probabilities of all the individually displayed cards is set to be equal to the winning probability (15% in this example) set for each type shown in FIG. In this example, the winning probabilities of the cards are set to be equal (15%/10=1.5%), but the cards may be different.

Further, for example, when the type designation button 27 is operated to designate “Super Rare” and the winning probability individual display button 21 is operated, as shown in FIG. 4C, the individual display screen 31 is displayed. The winning probabilities are individually displayed for all virtual prizes classified as “super rare”. In the example shown in FIG. 4C, the winning probabilities of the five character cards SR-1 to SR-5 are individually displayed. The total of the winning probabilities of all the individually displayed cards is set to be equal to the winning probability (5% in this example) set for each type shown in FIG. 3 (5%/5=1%). ), each card may be different.

Returning to FIG. 3, when the player operates the privilege use button 29, a privilege (for example, a ticket or an item) owned by the player is used, and it is possible to change the distribution of the winning probability of a specific type. Become. In addition, as described above, when there is a period in which the winning probability can be changed instead of using the privilege, during the period, for example, the “Edit winning probability” button is displayed and the button is operated. In this case, the distribution of winning probabilities may be changeable.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a type selection screen for changing the distribution of the winning probabilities. The type selection screen is displayed when the privilege use button 29 is operated. In the example shown in FIG. 5, type selection buttons 33, 37 and a decision button 39 are displayed on the type selection screen 33. For example, when the type designation button 35 is operated and "rare" is designated and then the determination button 39 is operated, the player can arbitrarily change the distribution of the winning probability of "rare" to each virtual gift. .. Further, when the type designation button 37 is operated to designate “Super Rare” and the decision button 39 is manipulated, the player can arbitrarily change the distribution of the winning probability of “Super Rare” to each virtual gift. ..

FIG. 6 shows an example of a probability distribution change screen for each virtual gift. Note that FIG. 6 shows an example of a case in which the "specify" button 37 is used to specify "super rare" and then the enter button 39 is operated. In the example shown in FIG. 6, on the change screen 41 of the probability distribution, the five character cards SR-1 to SR-5 classified as “super rare” and individual winning probabilities, and the character cards SR-1 to SR-5. A slider bar 43 (an example of a user interface) that can arbitrarily specify the distribution of the winning probability of, and a decision button 45 are displayed.

The player can arbitrarily specify the distribution of the winning probabilities of the character cards SR-1 to SR-5 by operating the slider bars 43, and can operate the decision button 45 to determine the distribution of the winning probabilities. ..

For example, in the example shown in FIG. 6A, the player wants only the character card SR-5, and the winning probability of the character cards SR-1 to SR-4 is 0% and the winning probability of the character card SR-5 is 0%. The distribution of the winning probability of "Super Rare" is specified to be 5%. As a result, the winning probability of the character card SR-5 desired by the player can be significantly increased as compared with the winning probability (1%) before the change.

Further, for example, the example shown in FIG. 6B is a case where the player wants a character card other than the character card SR-1 with a predetermined priority (SR-5>SR-4>SR-3>SR-2 in this example). The distribution of the winning probabilities of "super rare" is specified so that the winning probability of the character cards SR-2 to SR-5 is 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%, respectively. As a result, the player can prioritize the distribution of the winning probabilities according to the required degree.

In FIGS. 6A and 6B, each slider bar 43 cannot be operated upward when the total value of all slider bars 43 reaches 5%.

<4. Processing procedure of information processing device>
Next, an example of the processing procedure executed by the CPU 501 of the server 5 will be described with reference to FIG. 7.

In step S10, the server 5 uses the winning probability acquisition processing unit 11 to acquire the winning probabilities set for each of the plurality of types in which the plurality of virtual prizes to be drawn are classified, and the lottery game screen 18 is displayed on the terminal device. 3 is displayed on the touch panel 7.

In step S20, the server 5 determines whether or not the player uses the privilege. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the player has operated the privilege use button 29. When the privilege use button 29 is not operated (step S20: NO), the process directly proceeds to step S60 described later. On the other hand, when the privilege use button 29 is operated (step S20: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S30.

In step S30, the server 5 determines whether or not the player has selected a type for changing the distribution of the winning probabilities. Specifically, on the type selection screen 33, it is determined whether any one of the type designation buttons 35 and 37 is operated and then the determination button 39 is operated. This step S30 is repeated until the type is selected, and when the type is selected (step S30: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S40.

In step S40, the server 5 causes the user interface processing unit 15 to display the probability distribution change screen 41 on which the player can arbitrarily specify the distribution of the winning probability on the touch panel 7 of the terminal device 3.

In step S50, the server 5 uses the first probability distribution change processing unit 13 to select each virtual gift classified into the specific type selected in step S30 in accordance with the player's input on the probability distribution change screen 41. Change the distribution of winning probabilities of a specific type to.

In step S60, the server 5 determines whether or not the player has instructed to execute the lottery. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the lottery start button 19 has been operated on the lottery game screen 18. When the lottery start button 19 is not operated (step S60: NO), the process returns to the previous step S10 and the same procedure is repeated. On the other hand, when the lottery start button 19 is operated (step S60: YES), the process proceeds to step S70.

In step S70, the server 5 causes the lottery execution processing unit 17 to perform a lottery for virtual gifts based on the distribution of the set winning probabilities.

In step S80, the server 5 provides the selected virtual gift to the player and stores it in the player's storage in the virtual gift database 9. This is the end of this flowchart.

Note that the processing procedure described above is an example, and at least a part of the procedure may be deleted or changed, or a procedure other than the above may be added. Moreover, you may change the order of at least one part of the said procedure.

<5. Effect of Embodiment>
As described above, the game program of the present embodiment causes the server 5 to obtain the winning probability acquisition processing unit 11 that acquires the winning probability set for each of the plurality of types in which the plurality of virtual prizes to be selected are classified. , A first probability distribution change processing unit 13 for changing the distribution of the winning probability of a specific type for each of the virtual prizes classified into a specific type among a plurality of types based on the input of the player, the distribution of the winning probability The lottery execution processing unit 17, which executes the lottery of virtual gifts based on

Generally, in a lottery game, a plurality of virtual prizes to be drawn are classified into a plurality of types according to the value in the game, and the higher the value is, the lower the winning probability is set. In each type, the winning probabilities set in the type are distributed to a plurality of virtual prizes classified in the type based on a predetermined rule (e.g., equality). Therefore, for example, when the player wants a specific virtual gift of the most valuable type, even if the most valuable type wins, the virtual gift desired by the player does not always win, and the player does not always win. I was not always satisfied.

In this embodiment, the player can arbitrarily change the distribution of the winning probability of a specific type for each virtual gift. Thereby, for example, when the player wants a specific virtual gift, the distribution of the winning probabilities of the types into which the virtual gift is classified can be changed so that the winning probability of the desired virtual gift becomes high. Further, when there are a plurality of desired virtual gifts, it is possible to change the distribution so that the winning probabilities of the plurality of virtual gifts are respectively high, or to give priority to the distribution. In this way, it is possible to increase the probability of winning the virtual prize desired by the player, so that the satisfaction of the player in the lottery game can be increased.

Further, particularly in the present embodiment, the server 5 further functions as the user interface processing unit 15 that provides the slider bar 43 that allows the player to arbitrarily specify the distribution of the winning probability. This can improve the operability when the player changes the distribution of the winning probabilities.

<6. Modifications>
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and technical idea of the present invention. Hereinafter, such a modified example will be described.

(6-1. When distribution of winning probabilities for types can be changed)
In the above-described embodiment, the winning probabilities for each type in which virtual gifts are classified are fixed values, but these may be changeable by the player.

FIG. 8 shows an example of the functional configuration of the server 5A of this modification. Note that, in FIG. 8, the same configurations as those in FIG. 2 described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 8, the server 5A (an example of an information processing apparatus) has a second probability distribution change processing unit 47 in addition to the functional configuration of the server 5 of the above embodiment.

The second probability distribution change processing unit 47 changes the distribution of the winning probabilities for each of the plurality of types based on the input by the player. The change of the distribution of the winning probability is allowed within the range of change (for example, 10%) determined according to the type of privilege to be used. As a result, the player can arbitrarily change the winning probability of a specific type (for example, “super rare” or “rare” in the above example) within the range of change. The change of the distribution of the winning probability for the type can be executed, for example, when the player uses a predetermined privilege, like the change of the distribution of the winning probability for the virtual gift described above. The predetermined privilege is, for example, acquired by the player as a reward for completing a predetermined quest or mission, and the usable period and the number of times of use are limited, for example, it can be used only once for a limited period. In addition to the case of using the privilege, there is a period in which the distribution of the winning probability can be changed, for example, it can be changed once a day only during an event for a limited time, or can be changed twice a month freely. The number of times may be limited according to the period.

The user interface processing unit 15 described above provides a user interface that allows the player to arbitrarily specify the distribution of the winning probabilities for each type. The mode of the user interface is not particularly limited as long as the player can arbitrarily specify the distribution of the winning probabilities for each type, but is, for example, a numerical value input box, a pull-down menu, a slide bar or the like. The second probability distribution change processing unit 47 changes the distribution of the winning probabilities based on the designation by the user interface.

FIG. 9 shows an example of the probability distribution change screen for each type. In the example shown in FIG. 9, on the probability distribution change screen 49, type display sections 51, 53, and 55 that display the winning probabilities of various types of virtual gifts, types other than the type with the lowest value (“normal”), That is, a slider bar 57 (an example of a user interface) that can arbitrarily specify the distribution of the winning probabilities of “super rare” and “rare”, and a decision button 59 are displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the change width is set to 10%, for example.

The player operates the slider bars 57 to arbitrarily specify the distribution of the change range (10% in this example) of the winning probability for "super rare" and "rare", and operates the determination button 59 to determine. be able to. The changed value of the winning probability operated by the slider bar 57 is displayed on the type display portions 53 and 55 together with the initial value. The winning probability of “normal” is automatically calculated based on the changed values of the winning probabilities of “super rare” and “rare”, and is displayed on the type display unit 51 together with the initial value.

For example, the example shown in FIG. 9A is a case where the player wants to increase only the winning probability of “super rare”, and the increase value of the winning probability of “super rare” is 10% and the increasing value of the winning probability of “rare”. The distribution of the change width is specified so that the value becomes 0%. As a result, the reduction value of the "normal" winning probability is 10%. As a result, it is possible to significantly increase the winning probability of "Super Rare" and reduce the winning probability of "Normal".

Further, for example, the example shown in FIG. 9B is a case where the player wants to increase the winning probability of both “super rare” and “rare”, and the increase value of the winning probability of “super rare” is 5% and “rare”. The distribution of the change range is specified so that the increase value of the winning probability of "is 5%." As a result, the reduction value of the "normal" winning probability is 10%. As a result, it is possible to uniformly increase the winning probabilities of both “super rare” and “rare” and reduce the winning probability of “normal”. In this example, the winning probabilities of “super rare” and “rare” are increased at the same rate, but they may be increased at different rates.

9(a) and 9(b), each slider bar 57 cannot be operated upward when the total value of all slider bars 57 reaches 10%.

FIG. 10 shows an example of a processing procedure executed by the CPU 501 of the server 5A. Note that, in FIG. 10, the same steps as those in FIG. 7 described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

Steps S10 and S20 are the same as those in FIG. 7 described above.

In step S23, the server 5A causes the user interface processing unit 15 to display a probability distribution change screen 49 on which the player can arbitrarily specify the distribution of the winning probability for each type on the touch panel 7 of the terminal device 3.

In step S26, the server 5A causes the second probability distribution change processing unit 47 to change the distribution of the winning probabilities for each of the virtual gift types in accordance with the player's input on the probability distribution change screen 49.

Subsequent steps S30 to S80 are the same as those in FIG. 7 described above, and a description thereof will be omitted. The change of the probability distribution for each virtual gift in steps S30 to S50 is executed based on the winning probability of the type changed in step S26.

According to the modified example described above, the server 5A further functions as the second probability distribution change processing unit 47 that changes the distribution of the winning probabilities for each of the plurality of types based on the input by the player.

As a result, for example, when the player wants a specific virtual gift (for example, the character card SR-5), the distribution of the winning probability of the type (“super rare” in this example) in which the virtual gift is classified is increased, and The distribution of the winning probabilities of the types to the respective virtual gifts can be changed so that the winning probability of the desired virtual gift (the character card SR-5 in this example) becomes high. As a result, the synergistic effect of increasing the winning probability of both the type and the virtual gift can further increase the probability of winning the virtual gift desired by the player, which further enhances the satisfaction of the player.

(6-2. When changing the lottery conditions based on the game play information)
In the above-described embodiment, the player can manually change the distribution of the winning probability for each virtual prize, but in addition to this, the lottery conditions may be automatically changed based on the game play information of the player.

FIG. 11 shows an example of the functional configuration of the server 5B of this modification. Note that, in FIG. 11, the same components as those in FIG. 2 described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 11, the server 5B (an example of an information processing apparatus) has an information acquisition processing unit 61 and a lottery condition change processing unit 63 in addition to the functional configuration of the server 5 of the above embodiment.

The information acquisition processing unit 61 acquires the game play information of the player. The “game play information” is not particularly limited as long as it is information about the game play of the player, but for example, the type of quest or mission cleared by the player, what game character or what item (for example, weapon, Play style such as armor, equipment, items with various effects etc.), parameters of the character used (level, ability, attribute, equipment, possessed items, etc.), for example in which area of which chapter The game progress status such as presence and the type of the executed lottery game.

The lottery condition change processing unit 63 becomes a lottery target based on the game play information acquired by the information acquisition processing unit 61, including distribution of winning probabilities (including distribution for each virtual gift and distribution for each type). The lottery conditions including at least one of the lineup of virtual gifts are changed. Both the distribution of winning probabilities and the lineup of virtual gifts may be changed, or only one of them may be changed.

The first probability distribution change processing unit 13 described above distributes the winning probability of a specific type to each virtual gift based on the player's input with respect to the lottery conditions changed by the lottery condition change processing unit 63. Can be changed. Then, the lottery execution processing unit 17 executes the virtual lottery based on the lottery conditions changed by the lottery condition change processing unit 63 and the first probability distribution change processing unit 13.

Further, the change of the lottery condition by the lottery condition change processing unit 63 may be executed, for example, when the player uses a predetermined privilege. In addition to the case of using the privilege, a period during which lottery conditions can be changed is provided, for example, it can be changed once a day only during an event for a limited time, or can be changed twice a month freely. The number of times may be limited according to the above.

FIG. 12 shows an example of the changed lottery conditions. As shown in FIGS. 12A to 12C, on the individual display screen 31 of the winning probability, each character card has attributes such as “fire”, “water”, “wind”, and “soil”. It is set. In the example shown in FIG. 12, for example, the player captures a mission or quest having the attribute of “fire”, and the information acquisition processing unit 61 has obtained information of the attribute of “fire” as the type of mission or quest. .. As a result, the lottery condition change processing unit 63 excludes the character cards having the attributes of "water", "wind", and "soil", and only the character cards having the attribute of "fire" are added to the virtual gift lineup. has been edited. As a result, the player can surely win the character card having the attribute of “fire”.

In the above case, the lottery conditions may be changed so as to increase the winning probability of the character card having the attribute of “fire” without changing the lineup of virtual gifts.

In addition to the above, depending on the player's play style information, for example, the player is provided with a specific type of game character (male or female character, character of specific occupation, character having specific skill, specific item). If a character or the like) is used favorably, at least one of the lineup and the winning probability may be changed so that the character can easily win.

Further, at least one of the lineup and the winning probability may be changed according to the game progress situation of the player, so that, for example, a character or item effective for an enemy character existing in the area can be easily won.

Further, the lottery conditions of another lottery game different from the executed lottery game may be changed according to the type of the lottery game executed by the player. For example, since the player has played the weapon lottery game a plurality of times (for example, 10 times in a row), it is easy to win a high-value type (“Super Rare” etc.) in a different armor lottery game, so that the lineup and winning At least one of the probabilities may be changed.

According to the modified example described above, the game program causes the server 5B to acquire the winning probability distribution based on the information acquisition processing unit 61 that acquires the game play information of the player, the game play information, and the virtual gift lineup. The lottery condition change processing unit 63 that changes at least one of the lottery conditions further functions, and the lottery execution processing unit 17 executes the lottery of virtual gifts based on the changed lottery condition.

In this modification, the lottery conditions can be automatically changed according to the play style such as the type of quest or mission cleared by the player, the character used and the preference of the item used. As a result, the probability of winning the virtual prize corresponding to the player's play style or the like can be automatically increased, so that the satisfaction of the player in the lottery game can be further increased.

Further, in the present modification, when the information acquisition processing unit 61 acquires the game play information regarding the lottery game executed by the player, the lottery condition change processing unit 63 determines the lottery game based on the game play information. Change the lottery conditions for different different lottery games.

As a result, a plurality of lottery games of different types can be linked. As a result, for example, if a lottery game in which virtual gifts are weapon items is executed a predetermined number of times or more, items with high rarity are likely to appear in a lottery game in which virtual gifts are armor items. It is possible to provide a lottery game in which reinforcements are taken in advance. Therefore, the satisfaction of the player can be further increased.

(6-3. When collecting game play information of a plurality of players)
The game play information of a plurality of players may be acquired and totaled, and the lottery conditions may be automatically changed based on the totaled result.

The first probability distribution change processing unit 13 described above distributes the winning probability of a specific type to each virtual gift based on the player's input with respect to the lottery conditions changed by the lottery condition change processing unit 63. Can be changed. Then, the lottery execution processing unit 17 executes the virtual lottery based on the lottery conditions changed by the lottery condition change processing unit 63 and the first probability distribution change processing unit 13.

FIG. 14 shows an example of the counting result. In the example shown in FIG. 14, the count result screen 67 displays a list of option 71 of attribute of the game character arranged by the sort instruction unit 69 in descending order of the number of players used (in this example, fire attribute character, wind attribute Character, soil attribute character, water attribute character, etc.). For each option 71, the attribute of the character, the image of the attribute, the number of players used, and the “select” button 73 are displayed. The player can reflect the counting result in the lottery condition by operating the “select” button 73 of the specific option 71 while referring to the counting result. That is, at least one of the lineup and the winning probability can be changed so that the character having the selected attribute can be easily won.

It should be noted that the sorting instruction unit 69 may specify a property other than the attribute to rearrange the counting results. For example, gender, occupation, skill, equipment item, etc. may be designated.

FIG. 15 shows an example of the changed lottery conditions. FIG. 15 is an example of a lottery condition when the “fire” attribute character is selected in FIG. 14 described above. As shown in FIGS. 15A to 15C, on the individual display screen 31 of the winning probability, the winning probability of the character card having the “fire” attribute is increased. For example, the "normal" type increased from 2% to 5%, the "rare" type increased from 1.5% to 3%, and the "super rare" type increased from 1% to 1.9%. ing. The character cards with other attributes are evenly reduced according to the increase value of the winning probability of the character card with the "fire" attribute.

In the above case, even if you change the lineup of virtual gifts so that only the character cards with the attribute of “fire” are excluded, excluding the character cards with the attributes of “water”, “wind”, and “sat”. Good.

According to the above-described modified example, the information acquisition processing unit 61 acquires game play information from a plurality of players, and the game program further functions as the server 5C as the totalization processing unit 65 that totals the acquired game play information. Then, the lottery condition change processing unit 63 changes the lottery condition based on the aggregation result.

As a result, for example, a character or item that is popular among players, or a character or item that has high needs can be easily obtained. Therefore, the satisfaction of the player can be further increased. In addition, for example, if the player is a beginner who is not familiar with the game and does not know which of the choices 71 can be used to efficiently advance the game, for the time being, the highest-ranked choice in the aggregation result is obtained. By selecting, it is possible to easily win the virtual prize which is advantageous for the progress of the game. Therefore, a game that is kind to beginners can be realized. Further, it is possible to save the trouble of exchanging information regarding the virtual prize of the lottery game between the players in the chat, SNS or the like outside the game.

(6-4. When changing the lottery conditions before and after the change)
When the lottery conditions are automatically changed based on the game play information of the player as in the above-described modified example, the changed lottery conditions do not suit the player depending on the player, and the lottery conditions before the change are used as a base. It is also possible to change the distribution of the winning probability (including the distribution for each virtual gift and the distribution for each type). Therefore, the player may be able to switch the lottery condition by selecting one of the lottery conditions before and after the change.

FIG. 16 shows an example of the functional configuration of the server 5D of this modification. In FIG. 16, the same components as those in FIGS. 2, 11, and 13 described above are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

The lottery condition switching processing unit 75 switches between the lottery condition before the change and the lottery condition after the change by the lottery condition change processing unit 63 based on the input by the player. The lottery execution processing unit 17 described above executes the lottery of virtual gifts based on the switched lottery conditions.

FIG. 17 shows an example of the lottery condition selection screen. In the example shown in FIG. 17, on the lottery condition selection screen 77, the before-change button 79 for selecting the lottery condition before change, the after-change button 81 for selecting the lottery condition after change, and the details of the lottery condition are confirmed. A detailed confirmation button 83 and an enter button 85 for performing the operation are displayed. For example, when the detail confirmation button 83 is operated after the pre-change button 79 is operated, the player can confirm the details of the lottery condition before the change. When the detail confirmation button 83 is operated after the changed button 81 is operated, the player can confirm the details of the changed lottery condition. Then, the player can switch between the lottery condition before the change and the lottery condition after the change by selecting either the before-change button 79 or the after-change button 81 and operating the decision button 85.

In this way, the player switches to either the lottery condition before the change or the lottery condition after the change, and then manually distributes the winning probability based on the lottery condition (distribution to each virtual gift and various types of prizes). (Including the allocation to) can be changed.

According to the modified example described above, the game program causes the server 5D to further function as the lottery condition switching processing unit 75 that can switch the lottery condition before the change and the lottery condition after the change based on the input by the player. The lottery execution processing unit 17 executes the virtual lottery based on the switched lottery conditions.

Since the players have various needs, some players may feel that the lottery conditions before the change are preferable to the automatically changed lottery conditions. In this modified example, the player can switch the content of the lottery condition before and after the change, so that it is possible to meet the various needs of the player and improve the versatility of the game.

In addition to the above, the methods according to the above-described embodiments and modified examples may be appropriately combined and used.
