Alternatively, the game system 1 changes the basic card group G1 into a privileged card group G2 to which a privilege is added, when the basic card group G1 satisfies a privilege condition. The change is implemented, for example, by changing (replacing) a part of the basic card group G1 into an athlete card 54 whose value is higher by one than the original athlete card 54. As a result of the lottery game in the one-round play, the game system 1 assigns the privileged card group G2 to the user, instead of the basic card group G1.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

Description

The present invention is connected to an input device for inputting a user's play action and an output device for providing a game according to the play action, and is based on two or more prizes to be given to the user from a plurality of prizes. The present invention relates to a game system or the like in which a prize group is determined by a plurality of lottery in one play and a lottery game of a type to be given to the user is provided to the user via an output device according to a play act.

One basic prize group is connected to an input device for inputting a user's play action and an output device for providing a game according to the play action, and as two or more prizes to be given to the user from a plurality of prizes. There is a game system in which a lottery game of a type that is determined by a plurality of lottery in one play and is given to the user is provided to the user via an output device according to the play action. As such a prize, a game system using a character (game medium) is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent No. 65505928

In the game system of Patent Document 1, one character is determined by one request of a normal gacha (normal medium lottery). In addition, as a game of the same type, there is also a lottery game that allows a play in which the same type of normal gacha is requested a plurality of times at a time as one play. Both one lottery and multiple lottery lottery are often executed in exchange for consumption (collection) of a predetermined consideration, but in general, multiple lottery is considered for multiple times (one time). Of course, the consideration for the above x multiple times) is required. On the other hand, such a lottery game is often executed for the purpose of acquiring a specific character (prize). In such a case, if a specific character is acquired, the motivation for playing is lost, and there is a high possibility that the lottery game will not be played. Therefore, when a lottery is required a plurality of times at a time and a target character is acquired in the middle of the lottery, there is a high possibility that the subsequent lottery will be regarded as a useless lottery (wasting of consideration). As a result, in terms of efficiency, many users have a play style in which one lottery is continued until the target character can be acquired.

In the game system of Patent Document 1, the right of an additional lottery for granting a special gacha opportunity when the same character is continuously given to the user in one lottery is granted, which is described above. It is considered that a play style in which a large number of such one lottery is executed is considered. In the lottery game, the case where the same character is given in duplicate is often considered to be a demerit, but in the game system of Patent Document 1, this demerit is reduced by using an additional lottery. As a result, the play of the normal gacha itself may be promoted, including the case where a large number of one lottery scheduled by the game system of Patent Document 1 is executed. However, it does not necessarily promote multiple lottery rather than one lottery. On the other hand, in the type of play that requires multiple lottery at once, in other words, in the type of play in which multiple prizes to be given are decided through multiple lottery and they are given at once, one lottery is required. Compared to the type of play that is continuously required, the play is not stopped in the middle, and a plurality of lottery for determining a plurality of prizes is surely executed. As a result, this type of play is often preferable in terms of the corresponding price and the like.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a game system or the like capable of deciding a plurality of prizes to be given to a user by a plurality of lottery in one play and promoting the play of a lottery game of the type to be given. And.

The game system of the present invention is connected to an input device for inputting a user's play action and an output device for providing a game in response to the play action, and two or more prizes to be given to the user from a plurality of prizes. A lottery game of a type in which a basic prize group is determined by a plurality of lottery in one play and is given to the user as the prize is provided to the user via the output device according to the play act as the game. In a game system, when the basic prize group satisfies the privilege condition, the prize changing means for changing the basic prize group to the privileged prize group in which the privilege is added to the basic prize group, and the one-time play. As a result of the lottery game in the above, a prize giving means for giving the user a prize group with a privilege instead of the basic prize group is provided.

On the other hand, the computer program of the present invention is configured to cause the computer connected to the input device and the output device to function as each means of the above-mentioned game system.

Further, the control method of the present invention is connected to an input device for inputting a user's play action and an output device for providing a game in response to the play action, and should be given to the user from a plurality of prizes. A lottery game of a type in which a basic prize group is determined by a plurality of lottery in one play as two or more prizes and is given to the user as the game is given to the user via the output device according to the play action. When the basic prize group satisfies the privilege condition in the computer incorporated in the provided game system, the prize change procedure for changing the basic prize group to the privileged prize group in which the privilege is added to the basic prize group and the above-mentioned As a result of the lottery game in one play, the prize giving procedure of giving the privileged prize group to the user instead of the basic prize group is executed.

Further, the game machine appropriately provides a lottery game as a part of the baseball game or as a game different from the baseball game. That is, the game machine also provides a lottery game as a game accompanying the baseball game or as an independent game separate from the baseball game. For example, a lottery game may be played as part of a baseball game played in exchange for a predetermined play fee (compensation) without the consumption of additional consideration (eg, at the end of play, etc.). .. In this case, the lottery game may be grasped as a free game, or the consideration may be grasped as including the play fee of the baseball game. Alternatively, as a game different from the baseball game, the lottery game may be required to consume a consideration different from the consumption of the play fee for the baseball game. In this case, the consideration may function as a consideration for playing the lottery game, or may function as a consideration for giving a prize. That is, a predetermined consideration may be separately required for playing the lottery game, or a predetermined consideration may be separately required for acquiring the prize determined to be granted by the lottery game (which may be free or paid). You may. Similarly, the lottery game may be provided as a limited-time event set according to various conditions such as the remaining number of prizes, or may be provided at all times without the remaining number. Alternatively, even when the prize is always provided, an appropriate remaining number or the like may be set for each prize for the purpose of changing the prize or the like. Further, various prizes may be used as prizes for the lottery game, and may or may not be related to the baseball game. Details of the lottery game will be described later.

The storage unit 23 may be configured to hold all the data on one storage unit, or may be configured to distribute and store the data in a plurality of storage units. The storage unit 23 includes various services including a baseball game and the like (hereinafter, may be referred to as a game on behalf of the lottery game and the baseball game, including the case where the lottery game functions as a part of the baseball game). The program PG1 is recorded as an example of a computer program that causes the control unit 21 to execute various processes necessary for providing the above. In addition, the server data SD required for providing various services is also recorded in the storage unit 23. The server data SD may include various data for games, and as such data, play data 25 and lottery data 26 are shown in the example of FIG.

The play data 25 is data for managing various achievements related to game play for each user. The play data 25 is used to take over such various achievements from the next time onward. The lottery data 26 is data for managing various prizes for the lottery game. In the lottery data 26, various information related to each prize, such as the type of prize, the number of winnings, the remaining number, and the winning rate, is managed. Details of the play data 25 and the lottery data 26 will be described later. The server data SD includes, for example, ID data for managing various IDs such as user IDs, or parameter data for managing parameters of each player (character) appearing in a baseball game. May be included as appropriate.

The control unit 21 is provided with a service providing unit 24 as a logical device realized by a combination of the hardware resources of the control unit 21 and the program PG1 as software resources. The service providing unit 24 executes various processes for realizing the above-mentioned game machine service for the game machine 3. An input device such as a keyboard, an output device such as a monitor, and the like can be connected to the control unit 21 as needed. However, their illustration is omitted.

On the other hand, the game machine 3 is provided with a control unit 31 as a computer and a storage unit 32 as a storage means. The control unit 31 is configured as a computer in which a CPU as an example of a processor that executes various arithmetic processes and operation controls according to a predetermined computer program, an internal memory required for the operation, and other peripheral devices are combined. The control unit 31 is provided with a game providing unit 33 as a logical device realized by combining the hardware resources of the control unit 31 and the program PG2 as software resources. The game providing unit 33 executes various processes necessary for the progress of the game or various processes (including processes necessary for the progress of the game) necessary for enjoying the service for the game machine. Such processing includes processing for providing a lottery game. For example, the game providing unit 33 executes a prize giving process as such a process. The details of the procedure for giving a prize will be described later.

The storage unit 32 is an external storage device realized by a storage unit including a non-volatile storage medium (computer-readable storage medium) such as a hard disk or a semiconductor storage device. Various data are recorded in the storage unit 32 together with the above-mentioned program PG2, and the game data GD is shown in the example of FIG. The game data GD is data for causing the user to play the game according to the program PG2. The game data GD may appropriately include various data for the game, but in the example of FIG. 2, play data 25 and lottery data 26 are shown. The play data 25 and the lottery data 26 are provided from the center server 2 through the distribution service so as to include necessary parts. In addition, the game data GD includes various data such as image data for displaying various images for games, BGM data for reproducing various BGMs, the above-mentioned ID data, parameter data, and the like. It may be appropriately included as data for the game.

Further, the game machine 3 is appropriately provided with various output devices and input devices necessary for the arcade game machine, and can be connected to the control unit 31. As such an output device, the monitor MO in the example of FIG. , And a printer 38 are provided. The monitor 11 is a well-known display device that displays a game screen for providing a game. The printer 38 is a well-known output device for printing images, symbols such as various codes, characters, and the like based on the output signal from the control unit 31. The game machine 3 is configured to generate (eject) the card 39 by printing through such a printer 38. Both the monitor MO and the printer 38 may appropriately function as the output device of the present invention, but as an example, the monitor MO functions as the output device of the present invention.

On the other hand, the game machine 3 is provided with a reader 36 and a touch panel TP in the example of FIG. 2 as input devices required for the arcade game machine. The reader 36 is a well-known device for acquiring information from the card 39 possessed by the user. As the reader 36, various devices such as a receiver for receiving information recorded on an electronic recording medium such as an IC chip through various short-range wireless communication standards are appropriately used according to a method of recording information on the card 39. However, a camera is used as an example. Similarly, information may be recorded on the card 39 by an appropriate method such as an IC chip, but as an example, it is recorded via a code (pattern) generated according to a predetermined rule. The camera is a reader 36 that obtains the information contained in such a code (by reading it) through such a code.

For example, when a player card as a card 39 is read through a reader 36, such a card 39 records various information for identifying parameters that define each player. As such information, appropriate information such as parameter information itself or various indirect information for specifying such parameters can be recorded on the card 39, but as an example, each card 39 is unique. ID information (an example of indirect information) is recorded. Then, the parameters of each player are specified by the parameter data that manages the parameters of each player for each card ID. The same applies when the card 39 is an ID card or the like that records user ID information. The reader 36 (camera) is used to acquire (read) the information of such a card 39.

Next, the details of the lottery game will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. The lottery game may be realized by an appropriate method such as voice, but is provided through a lottery screen as an example. That is, the monitor MO that displays the lottery screen is used as an output device for providing the lottery game. The lottery screen is a kind of game screen for giving a user an opportunity to play a lottery game. The lottery game may be appropriately provided as described above through such a lottery screen. For example, the lottery game may be provided as a part of the baseball game upon payment of the play fee for the baseball game, or may be provided as a game different from the baseball game in exchange for consumption of another consideration. Below, a lottery that uses each player (or player card) used in the baseball game as a prize through the lottery screen that is displayed in exchange for payment of a consideration (play fee for the lottery game) that is different from the play fee. The case where the game is provided as a limited-time (limited number of remaining) event will be described.

FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a lottery screen. As shown in FIG. 3, the lottery screen 50 includes an instruction input area 51, a prize presentation area 52, and a reference information area 53. The instruction input area 51 is an area for inputting an operation for instructing the execution of the lottery (play of the lottery game). In the instruction input area 51, appropriate options or various information related to the lottery instruction may be displayed, but in the example of FIG. 3, the execution option 51A and the stop option 51B are displayed. The execution option 51A and the stop option 51B both indicate the range in which the user's touch operation should be executed. Specifically, the execution option 51A and the cancellation option 51B are options (ranges) that are selected (touch operation) when the execution of the lottery is instructed and when the lottery is instructed to be canceled. That is, the lottery is actually executed with the selection of the execution option 51A (touch operation there), and the lottery (or lottery game) is canceled with the selection of the cancellation option 51B. Appropriate information may be displayed in the execution option 51A and the cancellation option 51B, but as an example, the information of "challenge" intended to execute the lottery and "not" intended to cancel the lottery is displayed. In this example, the touch operation to the execution option 51A functions as the play act of the present invention.

The prize presentation area 52 is an area for displaying information about prizes that can be obtained by lottery. Appropriate information about the prize may be displayed in the prize presentation area 52, but the number of times information (“5 times lottery!”) Showing the number of lottery and the card image 54 are displayed. In the lottery game, an appropriate number of lottery may be executed. For example, one lottery may be offered as one play in exchange for one lottery consideration, or multiple lottery may be offered as one play in exchange for multiple lottery consideration. (Alternatively, if the consideration is consumed in exchange for the grant of the prize, one or more lottery for determining the prize to be exchanged may function as one play). That is, even if the game is played as a type of game in which the prizes to be given to the user in one play (which may be an appropriate number such as one or two) are determined by one lottery and are given to the user. Alternatively, two or more prizes to be given to the user are determined by a plurality of lottery (one prize may be drawn by each lottery, or an appropriate number of prizes such as two may be drawn). It may be played as a type of game that is given to the user at the same time.

Further, the number of lottery times may be appropriately determined, but as an example, the number of lottery lottery for determining prizes one by one is determined according to the user's selection. Further, the user's selection for determining the number of lottery times may be appropriately executed. For example, an arbitrary number of lottery times may be input (requested) by the user, but as an example, a lottery such as 1, 5, or 10 times may be performed. The lottery screen is a number selection screen (not shown) that provides an option indicating the number of times (a unit of the number of lottery times corresponding to this option, that is, the number of lottery times requested at one time through the option may function as one play). It is displayed separately before, and is determined through the selection of those options on the number of times selection screen. In this case, the user is requested to pay for the options (number of lottery times), and the lottery screen 50 is presented in exchange for the payment of the consideration.

On the other hand, the card image 54 is an image showing various player cards. The card image 54 (hereinafter, may be referred to as a player card 54) may include appropriate information such as parameters of each player, but in the example of FIG. 3, the player image CI is included. Further, as such a card image 54, only the image of the player card (player or character) corresponding to each prize may be displayed, but as an example, the player card of the prize (hereinafter, may be referred to as a prize player card). There are two card images 54 corresponding to each of the player card and the normal player card corresponding to the player similar to the player card (hereinafter, may be referred to as a normal player card) for each prize. That is, in the prize presentation area 52, the prize player card (prize) and the normal player card are compared, and the card image 54 corresponding to the prize player card (hereinafter referred to as the prize player card 54) is used so that the value thereof can be easily grasped. Both a card image 54 (hereinafter, may be referred to as a normal player card 54) corresponding to a normal player card of a similar player (which may be called) are displayed for each prize.

Specifically, in the example of FIG. 3, two normal player cards 54A and a second normal player card 54D (both player image CIs without ribbons) are the prize player cards 54. Two of the 1st prize player card 54B and the 2nd prize player card 54C (both are player image CIs with ribbons) are displayed. The first normal player card 54A and the second normal player card 54D function as normal player cards 54 corresponding to the first prize player card 54B and the second prize player card 54C, respectively. That is, two types of prize player cards 54 (characters) corresponding to the first prize player card 54B and the second prize player card 54C are prepared as prizes.

The first prize player card 54B corresponds to the same player as the first normal player card 54A, but various parameters are set more advantageously than the first normal player card 54A, and a rare player image CI (for example, with a ribbon) is displayed. It has been done. As a result, the first prize player card 54B has a higher value than the first normal player card 54A, and the acquisition probability (probability that the user can obtain it) is also set lower than that of the first normal player card 54A. The relationship between the second prize player card 54C and the second normal player card 54D is also the same. On the other hand, the value between the first prize player card 54B and the second prize player card 54C may be about the same, but as an example, the value of the second prize player card 54C is set higher. For example, the second prize player card 54C may be set to have a higher degree of various parameters or a lower acquisition probability than the first prize player card 54B. Similarly, the lottery game may be set to be out (no grant target), but as an example, any one of the four player cards 54 presented in the prize presentation area 52 is always drawn in one lottery. (For example, a normal player card 54 may be given in the case of a loss). That is, in the lottery game, four player cards 54 having different values are prepared as prizes, and one of them is determined for each lottery. In this example, the four player cards 54 function as the plurality of prizes of the present invention.

The reference information area 53 is an area for displaying various reference information related to the lottery game. Appropriate information may be used as such reference information, but in the example of FIG. 3, information on the remaining number of prizes is used. That is, in the reference information area 53, information on the remaining number of the two types of prize player cards 54 corresponding to the first prize player card 54B and the second prize player card 54C is displayed as reference information. Specifically, in the reference information area 53, the first prize player card 54B and the second prize player card 54C corresponding to the two types of prize player cards 54 are displayed. Then, below them, numerical information indicating each remaining number (“1111” indicating the same remaining number) is displayed. When the lottery game is provided as an event with a limited number of remaining prizes, information on the remaining number of prizes is presented in the reference information area 53 in this way. As an example, the lottery game is provided through such a lottery screen 50.

In the lottery game, an appropriate number of lottery may be executed as described above, but if a plurality of lottery is executed in one play, a privilege may be given. That is, in the lottery game, one player card 54 is determined when the user executes (selects) a lottery a plurality of times (for example, five times in the example of FIG. 3) for determining each of the plurality of player cards 54. It is configured to grant benefits that are not granted when executing (selecting) one lottery for the purpose based on the benefit conditions. As a privilege condition, an appropriate condition such as the cumulative number of plays in which the lottery has been played multiple times, the number of consecutive plays, or the amount of consideration invested in the play may be used, but as an example, a plurality of times in one play may be used. The lottery result of the lottery is used. Specifically, in a plurality of lottery, if the lottery results satisfy the privilege condition, the user is given a privilege.

In addition, as privilege conditions, for example, conditions that are satisfied when a specific player card is drawn, conditions that are satisfied when a predetermined combination of player cards is drawn, the same attributes (for example, defense, fielder, pitcher, team, etc.) Conditions that are satisfied when the player cards of (appropriate attributes may be used) are duplicated, or conditions that are satisfied when the same player cards are duplicated (for example, two first normal player cards 54A in the example of FIG. 3 are drawn). May be adopted. Alternatively, for example, there are different player cards corresponding to the same player (player cards corresponding to the same player but different images, parameters, etc. Such player cards are suitable, for example, at appropriate times such as seasons, etc. It may be issued under the conditions.) At that time, the conditions and the like that are satisfied when the player cards of the same player are duplicated may be adopted as the privilege conditions. In this way, appropriate conditions may be adopted as privilege conditions, but as an example, a plurality of player cards of the same value (for example, the first normal player card 54A and the second normal player card 54D in the example of FIG. 3) are drawn. The conditions that are met if done are adopted. That is, the privilege condition is that player cards of the same value are duplicated in a plurality of lottery executed as one play of the lottery game (that is, for example, the first normal player card in the example of FIG. 3). 54A and the second normal player card 54D are drawn one by one).

Similarly, as a privilege when the privilege condition is satisfied, a special prize or the like different from the player card may be appropriately used, but for example, a player card different from the duplicated player card is used. As such another player card, yet another player card having the same value as the duplicate player card (a player card outside the prize may be used, or a player with the duplicate player card and another player correspond to the same player differently. An appropriate player card such as a player card) may be used, but for example, a player card having a higher value than a duplicate player card (hereinafter, may be referred to as a privilege player card) is used. Further, an appropriate player card having a higher value than the duplicated player card may be used as a privilege, for example, a player card having a higher value than the duplicated player card of the same player due to the duplication of the player card corresponding to the same player. However, as an example, it is not limited to the same player, and an appropriate player card (one or two higher, etc., appropriately valuable player card) having a higher value than the duplicated player card is used as a privilege. .. Specifically, for example, in the case of FIG. 3, with the duplication of the second normal player card 54D, the prize player card 54 of the first prize player card 54B, which has one higher value than that, is given as a privilege. NS. In addition, bonus player cards may be additionally granted (apart from duplicate player cards), or some of the duplicate player cards (eg, one or two of them, as appropriate). It may be given by change, but as an example, it is given by changing one of the duplicate player cards to a privilege player card. In the following, as an example, such a privilege condition and a case where the privilege is used will be described.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the privilege conditions and the details of the privilege when the lottery is executed a plurality of times in one play. The example of FIG. 4 shows the relationship between the lottery result and the player card 54 actually given when the lottery is executed five times as one play in the example of FIG. Further, in the example of FIG. 3, four player cards 54 are used as prizes, but in the example of FIG. 4, normal player cards 54N (hereinafter referred to as N player cards 54N) are used in descending order of value. (There is), rare player card 54R (hereinafter, may be referred to as R player card 54R), and super rare player card 54S (hereinafter, may be referred to as SR player card 54S). There is. For example, the first normal player card 54A and the second normal player card 54D in the example of FIG. 3 are N-type player cards 54N, the first prize player card 54B is the R-type player card 54R, and the second prize player card 54C is SR. Each functions as a system player card 54S.

As shown in FIG. 4, for example, as the result of five lottery, five player card groups G1 (hereinafter, may be referred to as basic card group G1) corresponding to each of the lottery results are determined, and the basic card group is determined. When two player cards 54 of the same value (for example, the first normal player card 54A in the example of FIG. 3) are duplicated in G1, the privilege condition is satisfied, and one of the duplicated cards is one as a privilege. It is changed to a player card 54 having a higher value (for example, the first prize player card 54B in the example of FIG. 3). Furthermore, if three player cards 54 of the same value are duplicated as a result of the five lottery, the privilege condition is satisfied again, and one of the three cards is raised by two as a privilege. It is changed to a player card 54 having a value of (for example, the second prize player card 54C in the example of FIG. 3). As a result, in the basic card group G1, two player cards 54 are replaced from the initial lottery result, and another five player card group G2 (hereinafter, a card group with benefits) having a different combination from the original player card 54 (hereinafter, a card group with benefits) It may be called G2). Then, originally (when the privilege condition is not satisfied), the basic card group G1 corresponding to the lottery result should be granted as the grant target, but in reality, the card group G2 with the privilege is replaced with the basic card group G1 as the grant target. Is given to the user.

Specifically, in the example of FIG. 4, N-type player card 54N, N-type player card 54N, R-type player card 54R, R-type player card 54R, and N-type corresponding to the first to fifth lottery results, respectively. Five player cards 54 of the player card 54N are sequentially determined by lottery as grant candidates. In this case, first, the N-type player card 54N is duplicated in the first and second lottery results. Therefore, these N-type player cards 54N (lottery results) satisfy the privilege conditions, and as a privilege, one of the two N-type player cards 54N is one more valuable R-type player card 54R. Is changed (replaced) to. In this case, any of the two N-type player cards 54N may be changed to the R-type player card 54R, but as an example, the N-type player card corresponding to the later lottery result (second lottery result). 54N is changed to R system player card 54R.

Further, in the example of FIG. 4, the R-type player card 54R is duplicated in the third and fourth lottery results. The target of the privilege condition may be limited to some (specific) player cards 54 such as the lowest value player card 54 (for example, N-type player card 54N), and all player cards 54 are subject to the privilege condition. (In this case, if the player card 54 having the highest value satisfies the privilege condition, for example, a privilege different from the player card 54 may be given). That is, the target of the privilege condition may be set as appropriate, but as an example, a player card 54 other than the player card 54 having the highest value (for example, SR player card 54S) is set as the target of the privilege condition. Therefore, of the two R-type player cards 54R corresponding to the third and fourth lottery results, one (for example, the fourth lottery result) is one more valuable SR-type player card 54S. Is changed (replaced) to.

Further, in the example of FIG. 4, the N-type player card 54N is determined as a grant candidate even in the fifth lottery. In this case, the privilege condition may be determined based on the duplication before the change based on the privilege condition, or may be determined based on the duplication after the change (including the unchanged one). In addition, when the privilege condition is determined based on the duplication after the change, the player card 54 that has already been considered for the determination of the privilege condition may be excluded from the determination target of the privilege condition thereafter, and even after that, the privilege condition may be excluded. It may be considered as a discrimination target. For example, the first N-series player card 54N, which was counted as a duplicate in the second change of the N-series player card 54N to the R-series player card 54R, may be counted as a duplicate in the subsequent changes, and is not counted. You may. Specifically, the N-type player card 54N corresponding to the result of the fifth lottery may be counted as the second duplication or the third duplication in the multiple counts before the change. .. In other words, the multiple counts may or may not be reset to zero each time the privilege condition is met. Similarly, for example, when duplication after the change is counted, the changed R-type player card 54R corresponding to the second lottery result and the third-time lottered R-type player card 54R (unchanged). The R-type player card 54R drawn for the third time is changed to the SR-type player card 54S, while the fourth R-type player card 54R and the fifth N-type player card 54N are both the first. May be counted as. Further, the duplication of privilege conditions may be determined at regular intervals, or may be cumulatively determined. When it is determined cumulatively, the value of the privilege may change according to the multiple (for example, the value increases according to the cumulative number). In this way, the duplication of the player cards 54 may be appropriately counted in the privilege conditions, but as an example, the multiples before the change based on the privilege conditions are cumulatively counted.

Specifically, when looking at the lottery results before the change, three N-type player cards 54N are duplicated in the first, second, and third lottery results. In this case, with the duplication of three N-type player cards 54N, the SR-type player card 54S, which has a higher value than the case of two, is added as a privilege. The addition of this privilege may occur on the R-type player card 54R that has changed due to the duplication of two cards, or may occur on the third N-type player card 54N. That is, with the duplication of three cards, one change to the SR-type player card 54S according to the cumulative number may occur in the second N-type player card 54N (in this case, the third N-type player card 54N). The player card 54N may remain as it is), and the two changes of the change to the R player card 54R due to the duplication of two cards and the change to the SR player card 54S due to the duplication of three cards are the second and third cards, respectively. It may occur on the N-type player card 54N of the eye.

As described above, the addition of benefits associated with the duplication of three cards may be appropriately realized, but as an example, the second N-type player card 54N is R due to the duplication of two N-type player cards 54N. While it is changed (replaced) to the system player card 54R, the third N system player card 54N is changed (replaced) to the SR system player card 54S due to the duplication of the third card. That is, when the duplication of the N-type player card 54N exceeds a predetermined number (two cards), it is not a change to the R-type player card 54R, but one more value than that (from the N-type player card 54N). A change to the SR player card 54S (which has two high values when viewed) will be added as a privilege.

Then, the user is given the changed player card 54 based on these privilege conditions. That is, instead of the basic card group G1 (three N-type player cards 54N and two R-type player cards 54R) corresponding to the lottery result, with a privilege (replacement of an appropriate player card 54) is added to it. The card group G2 is given to the user as a grant target. Specifically, one N-type player card 54N, two R-type player cards 54R, and two SR-type player cards 54S are actually given to the user as grant targets corresponding to the lottery results. As a result, the grant target corresponding to the five lottery results is considerably more valuable than the original five player cards 54 (basic card group G1) corresponding to the lottery results. As an example, the lottery game is more advantageous when the lottery is executed multiple times in this way than when the lottery is executed only once due to the privilege based on the privilege condition. It is configured to increase the probability of obtaining results.

In the example of FIG. 4, the basic card group G1 (three N-type player cards 54N and two R-type player cards 54R) corresponding to the lottery result functions as the basic prize group (two or more prizes) of the present invention. Further, the card group G2 with benefits (one N-type player card 54N, two R-type player cards 54R, and two SR-type player cards 54S) functions as a prize group with benefits of the present invention. Further, the N-type player card 54N, the R-type player card 54R, and the SR-type player card 54S function as the first prize, the second prize, and the third prize of the present invention, respectively. Similarly, the two R-type player cards 54R corresponding to the lottery result function as a plurality of second prizes and two or more second prizes of the present invention. On the other hand, for example, when the prize player card 54 is additionally added instead of replacing the duplicate player card 54 as a privilege when the privilege condition is satisfied, in the example of FIG. 4, one R-type player card 54R and Two SR player cards 54S are additionally added to the basic card group G1 as a privilege. In this case, the basic card group G1 and the three prize player cards 54 (one R-type player card 54R and two SR-type player cards 54S) added thereto function as the card group G2 with benefits. Such a privileged card group G2 also functions as a privileged prize group of the present invention.

The prize player card 54 determined to be granted through the lottery game may be printed as a card 39 (physical prize) through the printer 38 and given, or electronically through appropriate data such as play data 25. It may be given as a free gift. Further, even when the prize player card is electronically given, it may be appropriately generated as the card 39 after the fact. Further, the player card 54 actually given to the user may be only a part of a plurality of grant targets according to the selection of the user or the like.

Next, the details of the play data 25 and the lottery data 26 will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the play data 25. The example of FIG. 5 shows the play data 25 when the granting of the player card 54 based on the lottery game is managed through the play data 25 as a part of the achievements related to the play. As shown in FIG. 5, the play data 25 includes a play record 25R for managing the achievements related to the play of the game for each user. Further, the play record 25R may include various information regarding the achievement of the game in order to realize such management, but in the example of FIG. 5, "user ID", "date and time", "card", "character" , And "parameter" information is included.

The "user ID" is information indicating a user ID unique to each user in order to identify each user. The "date and time" is information indicating the date and time when the game was played. The "card" is information for identifying the player card 54 owned by each user. In the "card", appropriate information that can identify each player card 54 may be described, but as an example, the information of the card ID is described. The card ID is unique information for each player card 54 in order to identify each player card 54. For example, when five player cards 54 are given through the lottery game, the information of the card ID corresponding to each player card 54 given there as the result of the lottery game is described in the "card".

The "character" is information for identifying a player (character) of each player card 54. In the "character", appropriate information that can identify each player may be described, but as an example, the information of the character ID is described. The character ID is information unique to each character (player) in order to identify each character. Character IDs may be uniquely assigned within an appropriate range due to the convenience of player management, etc. For example, if there are multiple types of the same player with different rarities (values), they will be characters as separate characters. An ID may be given. The "parameter" is information indicating the parameter of each player (player card 54). In "parameters", the parameters of each player may be managed as appropriate, but as an example, the parameters for changes that have changed through game play are described as "parameter" information, and the initial values (common to all users) are separate parameters. It is managed through data etc. Then, the parameter of each player is specified by the combination of the parameter data and the information of the "parameter" of the play data 25. The play record 25R records such information so as to be related to each other.

As described above, in the play data 25, various achievements may be appropriately managed, and information other than the information shown in the example of FIG. 5 may be appropriately managed. Alternatively, the management of the information in the example of FIG. 5 may be omitted as appropriate. For example, if the parameters corresponding to each player card 54 can be specified by the user ID and the character ID, the "card" information may be omitted. Similarly, if changes based on game play are managed via other data such as parameter data, the "parameter" information may be omitted. Alternatively, when an appropriate correspondence relationship such as a character ID corresponding to a card ID is grasped as another data, the appropriate information managed by the other data such as the character ID is a part of the play data 25. It does not have to be grasped as. In other words, the play data 25 does not have to directly include information such as a character ID.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the lottery data 26. The example of FIG. 6 shows lottery data 26 when the lottery game is provided as an event for a limited time (ends when the remaining number of prizes becomes zero). In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the lottery data 26 includes a lottery record 26R that manages the remaining number of prizes for each lottery game (for each event for a limited time) that grants the prize. Further, the lottery record 26R includes information of "lottery ID", "prize", "remaining number", "winning number", and "winning rate" in order to realize such management.

The "lottery ID" is information indicating a unique lottery ID for each lottery game (event) in order to identify each lottery game provided as an event. The "prize" is information for identifying the prize of the lottery game. In the "prize", appropriate information that can identify the prize for the lottery game may be described. For example, when a plurality of types of prizes are prepared for the lottery game, information on a unique prize ID is described for each prize. Will be done. Specifically, for example, when the first prize player card 54B and the second prize player card 54C are used as prizes, two card IDs corresponding to the players of the player card 54 (prize) are shown in these two types. Information is described in "Premium".

The "remaining number" and the "winning number" are information indicating the remaining number of prizes (for each type when there are a plurality of types) and the number of winnings (winning results), respectively. The "remaining number" information does not have to reflect the grant as a privilege based on the privilege condition (in other words, even if the first prize player card 54B or the like is granted as a privilege, the remaining number does not decrease. , May be reduced only if they are granted based on a lottery) is reflected as an example. That is, even if the first prize player card 54 or the like is given as a privilege based on the privilege condition, the remaining number is reduced. Similarly, the "winning rate" is information indicating the winning rate (probability of winning. This information may function as information indicating rarity) of the prize (for each type when there are a plurality of types). The "winning rate" is the probability that changes based on the privilege conditions are taken into consideration (the appearance rate of the target for which the winning probability in the lottery game should be adjusted according to the number of appearances based on the privilege conditions). Information may be described, but as an example, information on the probability of winning in a lottery in a lottery game (in other words, the appearance rate excluding the number given by a change based on a privilege condition) is described. The lottery record 26R records such information so as to be related to each other.

The lottery data 26 is not limited to these, and may include appropriate information according to various conditions such as characteristics of the lottery game. Alternatively, this information may be omitted as appropriate. For example, if the lottery game is always provided as a part of a baseball game or the like instead of an event, in other words, if only one lottery game is provided, the information of the "lottery ID" may be omitted. Similarly, for example, when the remaining number is not set for the prize, the information of the "remaining number" may be omitted. Alternatively, similarly to the play data 25, when an appropriate correspondence relationship such as the remaining number corresponding to the prize is grasped as another data, the appropriate information managed by such another data is the lottery data 26. It does not have to be grasped as a part. In other words, the lottery data 26 does not have to directly include information managed by such other data.

Next, with reference to FIG. 7, the details of the procedure of the prize giving process will be described. The prize giving process is a process for realizing a lottery game. Specifically, the prize giving process is to give the user a prize corresponding to the lottery result while realizing the giving of the privilege based on the privilege condition when the lottery is executed a plurality of times in one play. It is the processing of. Further, the lottery results may be presented all at once when all of the plurality of lottery is completed, or may be presented one by one for each lottery. Further, the lottery result may be presented after the change based on the privilege condition, or may be presented before the change, and the change based on the privilege condition may be given from there. In this way, the lottery results may be presented as appropriate, but in the example of FIG. 7, the lottery results are presented one by one for each lottery, and changes based on the privilege conditions can be made from there at any time (for example, a player card 54 of the same degree). It shows the case where it is given (when duplication occurs).

In the case of the example of FIG. 7, the game providing unit 33 is instructed to execute a plurality of lottery as one play (for example, a plurality of lottery times are selected, and "challenge" of the example of FIG. 3 is selected. The prize giving process of FIG. 7 is started every time (step S101), and a lottery for determining one prize (player card 54) is first executed (step S101). When the change based on the privilege condition is taken into consideration in the winning rate, the game providing unit 33 determines the number of prizes given by the change based on the privilege condition (for example, it may be managed by appropriate data such as lottery data 26). With reference to this, the winning probability may be adjusted to an appropriate value, and the lottery in step S101 may be executed.

Subsequently, the game providing unit 33 acquires the lottery result of step S101 (step S102), and appropriately presents the lottery result to the user through, for example, a monitor MO (step S103). Next, the game providing unit 33 determines whether or not the lottery result satisfies the privilege condition (step S104). Specifically, it is determined whether or not there are overlapping player cards 54 having the same degree in the results of a plurality of lottery. Further, even if a change based on the privilege condition has already been granted, this determination is executed based on the player card 54 before the grant.

When the privilege condition is satisfied, that is, when there are the same number of player cards 54 that overlap in the lottery results, the game providing unit 33 changes the lottery results (step S105). Specifically, for example, when two player cards 54 of the same degree (excluding SR player card 54S) are duplicated, one of them is the player card 54 corresponding to the latest lottery result. Change to player card 54 with the above value. Alternatively, if three player cards 54 are duplicated, the player card 54 corresponding to the latest lottery result is changed to a player card 54 having a value two higher than that. In this case, when three R-type player cards 54R are duplicated, both of them may be changed to SR-type player cards 54S, or one of them may be changed to another prize.

On the other hand, if the privilege condition is not satisfied in step S104 (in other words, there is no player card 54 of the same degree that overlaps in the lottery results of a plurality of times), or after the lottery result is changed in step S105, the game providing unit 33 Determines whether or not the end condition is satisfied (step S106). The end condition is satisfied, for example, when all the lottery of the plurality of lottery selected as the target of the lottery this time is completed. Therefore, the game providing unit 33 determines in step S106 whether or not the current lottery corresponds to the final lottery of the plurality of times. If this time does not correspond to the final lottery, that is, if the end condition is not satisfied, the game providing unit 33 returns to step S101 and executes the subsequent processes again.

On the other hand, when this time corresponds to the final lottery, that is, when the end condition is satisfied, the game providing unit 33 actually gives the user a prize corresponding to the current lottery game (step S107). Specifically, the basic card group G1 corresponding to the lottery result (changed, in other words, the one without the privilege added), or the card with the privilege after being changed based on the privilege condition (with the privilege added) The group G2 is replaced with the basic card group G1 and given to the user as a prize. This addition may be appropriately realized as described above, but as an example, it is realized by the addition to the play data 25. Therefore, the game providing unit 33 realizes this grant by updating the play data 25 so that the user possesses the player card 54 corresponding to the grant result this time. Then, after this grant, the game providing unit 33 ends the present prize granting process.

According to the procedure of FIG. 7, when a lottery game in which a lottery is performed a plurality of times as one play is provided, a privilege based on the privilege condition is added to the lottery game. Specifically, when two player cards 54 of the same degree are duplicated in a plurality of lottery, one of the duplicated player cards 54 is changed to a player card 54 having a value one higher than that. .. Further, when three player cards 54 of the same degree are duplicated, one of the duplicated player cards 54 is changed to a player card 54 having a value two higher than that. That is, when a plurality of lottery is executed as one play, an advantageous privilege is added based on the privilege condition as compared with the case where only one lottery is executed as one play.

As described above, according to this form, when a plurality of lottery is executed as one play, a privilege which is not provided when one lottery is executed is given. Specifically, the target basic card group G1 determined and given by a plurality of lottery in one play includes a plurality of player cards 54 having the same value (duplicately) (satisfying the privilege condition). If so, some of those player cards 54 are changed to one higher value player card 54. Then, instead of the basic card group G1 initially determined by the lottery, the card group G2 with a privilege including the changed high-value player card 54 is actually given to the user. That is, when the basic card group G1 corresponding to the lottery result satisfies the privilege condition, the privilege of raising a part of the rank of the player card 54 is given. Therefore, by utilizing such a privilege, a play in which the basic card group G1 corresponding to the lottery result is determined by a plurality of lottery, that is, a play in which the basic card group G1 to be given to the user is determined by a plurality of lottery in one play. It is possible to promote the play of the type of lottery game that is determined and given according to the above, as compared with the type of play in which only one lottery is executed in one play.

Further, for example, duplication of player cards 54 of the same degree (in other words, privilege conditions) is determined for each fixed number, and the same privilege may be given each time, or cumulatively determined, depending on the cumulative number. The value of the privilege may be high, but in the former case, it is possible to prevent the superiority of the play in which the lottery is executed a plurality of times from being excessively increased as compared with the latter case. On the other hand, in the latter case, for example, the duplication of two N-type player cards 54N gives the R-type player card 54R, and the duplication of three cards gives the SR-type player card 54S as a privilege. The higher the value of the privilege, the more the number of lottery plays can be promoted.

Similarly, for example, the player card 54 after the change based on the determination of the privilege condition (for example, the R-type player card 54R whose second lottery result is changed in the example of FIG. 4) is excluded from the determination of the privilege condition thereafter. (For example, when the privilege condition is determined by the changed player card 54, the R-type player card 54 corresponding to the fourth lottery result is counted as the third card, but the player card 54 before the change. If it is determined by, the second lottery result is determined to be the N-type player card 54N and is excluded from the count of the R-type player card 54R. Therefore, in the example of FIG. 4, it corresponds to the fourth lottery result. The R-type player card 54 is counted as the second card.) It does not have to be excluded, but in the former case, it is possible to suppress excessive (chained) grant of benefits as compared with the latter. can. In this case as well, it is possible to prevent the superiority of the play in which the lottery is executed a plurality of times from being excessively increased. On the other hand, in the latter case, a chain of benefits can be produced. As a result, the superiority of the play in which the lottery is executed a plurality of times can be enhanced, and the use thereof can be further promoted.

In the above embodiment, the game providing unit 33 of the game machine 3 functions as a prize changing means and a prize giving means of the present invention by executing the procedure of FIG. 7. Specifically, the game providing unit 33 functions as a prize changing means of the present invention by executing step S105 of FIG. 7. Further, the game providing unit 33 functions as a prize giving means of the present invention by executing step S107 of FIG. 7.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned form, and may be carried out in a form in which appropriate modifications or changes are made. For example, in the above-described form, the privilege is unconditionally given due to the duplication of the player cards 54 of the same degree (the fulfillment of the privilege condition). However, the present invention is not limited to such a form. For example, after the fulfillment of the privilege condition, another appropriate condition may intervene, and the privilege may actually be granted when the other condition is satisfied. For example, an appropriate mini-game may be separately provided in accordance with the fulfillment of the privilege condition, and the privilege may be given according to the result of the mini-game (in this case, the play of the mini-game may be determined as a privilege). For example, as such a mini-game, an appropriate game such as a shooting game, an action game, or a music game may be used, but when a lottery game is used, for example, a privilege is given according to the lottery result of the lottery game. May be decided. In this case, as described above, the privilege may be the same type of player card 54 or another type of prize, but even in the case of the same type of player card 54, for example, the privilege (change target) is a high-value player. Not limited to card 54. For example, depending on the lottery result, a player card 54 having a lower value than the duplicated player card 54 may be determined as a change target.

Further, in the above-described form, an arcate game machine is used as the game machine. However, the present invention is not limited to such a form. As the game machine, a stationary so-called home-use game device, a user terminal device 4 or the like as described above may be used. Further, the game machine 3 may be configured as a game device that virtually operates on a server such as a center server 2 while using these user terminal devices 4 and the like as remote input / output devices. Further, the game device may function as the center server 2. That is, a game device such as a game machine 3 may execute all or part of the roles (various processes, etc.) of the center server 2 in the above-described form. When the game device executes all the roles of the center server 2, the game device (game machine 3) alone may function as the game stem of the present invention. Alternatively, conversely, the center server 2 may execute all or part of the roles of the game machine 3 described above. Specifically, for example, the center server 2 executes the lottery in the example of FIG. 7 (process in step S101), determines the privilege condition (process in step S104), and changes the lottery result (process in step S105). You may. In this case, the center server 2 may notify the game machine 3 of the lottery result and the change result, and the game machine 3 may present only an appropriate change effect to the user based on the information. In such a case, the center server 2 alone (including the case where it is composed of a plurality of server devices) may function as the game system of the present invention.

Various aspects of the present invention derived from each of the above-described embodiments and modifications are described below. In the following description, in order to facilitate understanding of each aspect of the present invention, the corresponding members shown in the accompanying drawings are added in parentheses, whereby the present invention is limited to the illustrated form. It's not a thing.

The game system of the present invention is connected to an input device (TP) for inputting a user's play action and an output device (MO) for providing a game in response to the play action, and a plurality of prizes (54). A lottery game of a type in which a basic prize group (G1) is determined by a plurality of lottery in one play as two or more prizes to be given to the user and is given to the user according to the play action as the game. In the game system (1) provided to the user via the output device, when the basic prize group satisfies the privilege condition, the privilege group (G2) in which the privilege is added to the basic prize group. A prize changing means (33) for changing the basic prize group, and a prize giving means (33) for giving the user a prize group with a privilege in place of the basic prize group as a result of the lottery game in the one play. 33) and.

According to the present invention, when the target basic prize group determined and given in one play satisfies the privilege condition, the basic prize group is changed to the privileged prize group, and the basic prize group is replaced with the basic prize group. A group of prizes with benefits is given to the user. That is, when the basic prize group satisfies the privilege condition, the privilege is given to the user. Therefore, by utilizing such a privilege, a play in which a basic prize group is determined by a plurality of lottery, that is, a type in which a plurality of prizes to be given to a user are determined and given by a plurality of lottery in one play. It is possible to promote the play of the lottery game. In addition, the term of one play means a case where a plurality of lottery is executed in this play range, and a prize that has already been given (acquired or owned by the user) by a past lottery etc. is determined as a privilege condition. It is intended not to be included in the subject. For this reason, it is a term that broadly includes a play in which a lottery for determining a plurality of prizes is instructed as a grant candidate before the user is actually granted. For example, it includes a case where an option for instructing a plurality of lottery is selected, or a case where a plurality of lottery is prepared as a play range corresponding to a predetermined consideration. It also includes a case where a predetermined consideration is required in exchange for the grant (may be a part) of a plurality of prizes determined by a plurality of lottery. Further, for example, in this case, even if each lottery is individually instructed, the lottery results are reserved as grant candidates, and whether or not they are actually granted is the whole (actually, only a part of them may be granted). If it is judged as, those multiple lottery are included in the range of one play.

If the privilege conditions are met, the privilege may be appropriately added to the basic prize group. For example, such a privilege may be additionally added to the basic prize group, or may be added as a partial modification of the basic prize group. Similarly, various benefits may be used as such benefits. For example, the privilege may be of the same type as the prize or of a different type (may or may not be related to the prize). Specifically, the same type of prize (including both in the case of the same prize and in the case of another type of prize among a plurality of types of prizes) may be additionally added to the basic prize group as a privilege. In addition, when multiple types of prizes include prizes of different values, a part of the basic prize group may be changed to another prize of the same value, or it may be changed to a prize of higher value. May be good. Alternatively, when a plurality of types of prizes exist, a part of the basic prize group may be changed to another type of prize as a privilege. Similarly, for example, when a card is used as a prize, even if the right to acquire a completely different type of stuffed animal (in the case of an electronic stuffed animal, the stuffed animal itself) is added to the basic prize group (card group) as a privilege. good. Alternatively, one card in the basic giveaway group may be changed to the right to obtain a stuffed animal. In this way, various benefits may be appropriately added to the basic prize group.

For example, in one aspect of the game system of the present invention, the plurality of prizes include a first prize (54N) and a second prize (54R) having a higher value than the first prize. Satisfied when the basic prize group includes a plurality of first prizes, the prize changing means adds the second prize to the basic prize group so that the second prize functions as the privilege. The prize group or the prize group in which one of the plurality of first prizes in the basic prize group is replaced with the second prize may be used as the privileged prize group. Further, in this aspect, the prize changing means replaces the one first prize with the second prize in the basic prize group by changing the one first prize to the second prize. The basic prize group may be changed to the attached prize group.

Similarly, there may be one type of privilege or a plurality of types. For example, as a plurality of types of benefits, a plurality of benefits corresponding to a plurality of values may be prepared. Further, when a plurality of benefits are prepared, these may be appropriately granted based on the benefit conditions. For example, when the privilege condition is satisfied when a plurality of first prizes are included in the basic prize group, the privilege condition is satisfied for each fixed number of first prizes, and the same privilege is given each time the privilege condition is satisfied. May be done. In addition, different benefits may be given for each fixed number of first prizes. Alternatively, the value of the privilege may change according to the cumulative number of the plurality of first prizes. Specifically, for example, in a mode in which a plurality of prizes include a first prize and a second prize, the plurality of prizes include a third prize (54S) having a higher value than the second prize, and the prize. When the number of the plurality of first prizes exceeds a predetermined number, the changing means changes the one first prize to the third prize instead of the second prize in the basic prize group. The basic prize group may be changed to the privileged prize group in which the one first prize is replaced with the third prize. In this case, as the number of first prizes increases, the value of the privilege increases, so that it is possible to promote the play of a larger number of lottery times.

Further, when the privilege condition is satisfied when a plurality of first prizes are included in the basic prize group, the target of the privilege condition may be limited to the first prize, or other prizes such as the second prize are duplicated. In that case, the privilege condition may be satisfied in the same manner. For example, in a mode in which a plurality of prizes include a first prize, a second prize, and a third prize, the prize changing means may be used when the prize group with benefits includes a plurality of second prizes. By changing one of the prizes to the third prize, the basic prize group may be changed to the privileged prize group in which the one second prize is replaced with the third prize in the basic prize group. ..

If the privilege condition is satisfied even when the basic prize group includes a plurality of second prizes, the second prize may or may be included due to the duplication of the first prize. It does not have to be. That is, the privilege may be counted or excluded in the duplication of the second prize. For example, in an embodiment in which the privilege condition is satisfied even when a plurality of second prizes are included in the basic prize group, the prize changing means is after removing the changed second prize from the one first prize. When two or more second prizes are included in the privileged prize group as the plurality of second prizes, the one second prize may be changed to the third prize. In this case, it is possible to suppress excessive (chained) granting of benefits.

The basic prize group may be appropriately determined through a plurality of lottery. For example, each lottery of a plurality of lottery may be executed so as to determine two or more prizes, or may be executed so as to determine one prize. That is, each lottery may be decided in units of a plurality of prizes, or may be decided one by one. Further, the basic prize group may be presented to the user at the same time when all of them are decided, or may be appropriately presented to the user for each predetermined number such as for each decision unit of each lottery. Similarly, when one of the basic prize groups is changed as a privilege, the change may be executed after an appropriate presentation such as each presentation, or the changed prize group with a privilege may be presented as a grant target. good. That is, the basic prize group may or may not be presented. For example, in an embodiment in which a plurality of prizes include a first prize and a second prize, each of the prizes in the basic prize group is divided into the two or more prizes so that each prize is determined for each lottery. When corresponding, the prize changing means is guided via the output device for each lottery, and when the plurality of first prizes are generated in the basic prize group as a result of each lottery, the prize changing means is given to the second prize. The first prize corresponding to the latest lottery result among the plurality of first prizes may be changed to the second prize as the one first prize so that the change is guided via the output device.
