FIG. 7B shows a card table for managing character cards. For each character card, the card ID, name, image data file name, character name, rarity, HP, attack power, defense power, attributes, etc. of the character card are stored in association with each other in the card table.

FIG. 7C shows a lottery target group table that manages the groups to which the character cards classified in the lottery game belong. In the lottery target group table, the card ID of the character card, the group ID indicating the group to which the character card belongs, and the like are stored in association with each character card to be the lottery target. In addition, each group is set for each of a plurality of classifications.

In addition, each group in one classification may be set according to different kinds of regulations. For example, in the first category, the first group is the normal rarity group, the second group is the fire group, and the third group is the character card group issued this month. It may be classified as. Moreover, each classification may be set by the same kind of regulation. For example, both the first category and the second category may be grouped according to their rarity. Also, the same character card may be included in two or more different groups in one classification.

Further, the lottery target group defined by each classification may include a plurality of groups of the same type. For example, in the first classification, two groups A having a normal rarity may be included.

2.2.1. Configuration of Server Processing Unit 33 The server processing unit 33 includes a classification unit 331, a progress control unit 332, a display data output unit 333, a main game execution unit 334, a selection unit 335, an association unit 336, and a determination unit 337. Each of these parts is a functional module realized by a program executed by the processor included in the server processing unit 33. Alternatively, each of these parts may be mounted on the server 3 as firmware.

The classification unit 331 classifies the character cards included in the lottery target into a plurality of groups before the lottery game is executed. The classification unit 331 classifies each character card to be a lottery into a plurality of groups for each of the plurality of classifications, sets a group ID, and stores it in the lottery card table.

The classification unit 331 classifies each character card into a plurality of groups according to the value (for example, rarity) of each character card, and determines the number of character cards belonging to each group according to the value corresponding to each group. You may change it. In that case, the classification unit 331 reduces the number of character cards belonging to the group as the value of the character card is higher, and increases the number of character cards belonging to the group as the value of the character card is lower. As a result, when low-value cards are selected by the lottery, the low-value cards are collectively deleted, so that it is possible to improve the probability that the player can obtain the high-value cards in the next lottery.

Further, the classification unit 331 sets the initial value of the lottery target group to be the target of the lottery process. The classification unit 331 stores all the group IDs specified in each classification as the initial values of the lottery target groups for each of the plurality of classifications.

The progress control unit 332 controls the start and progress of the game, and appropriately instructs the classification unit 331, the display data output unit 333, the main game execution unit 334, the selection unit 335, the association unit 336, and the determination unit 337 to execute the process. do. The progress control unit 332 exchanges necessary data with the mobile terminal 2 via the server communication unit 31.

Upon receiving the request for each screen described with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5C from the mobile terminal 2, the progress control unit 332 has a button for receiving an instruction from the player, character information to be notified to the player, and an image.

Instruct the data output unit 333 to create display data for displaying the home screen 500. Then, the progress control unit 332 transmits the display data created by the display data output unit 333 to the mobile terminal 2.

Further, when the main game button 501 is pressed on the home screen 500 displayed on the mobile terminal 2 and the corresponding main game request is received from the mobile terminal 2, the progress control unit 332 causes the main game execution unit 334 to play the main game. Instruct to execute. Then, the progress control unit 332 transmits the display data for displaying the screen for executing the main game created by the main game execution unit 334 to the mobile terminal 2.

Further, when the lottery game button 502 is pressed on the home screen 500 displayed on the mobile terminal 2 and the corresponding lottery screen request is received from the mobile terminal 2, the progress control unit 332 causes the display data output unit 333 to play the lottery game. Instructs the creation of display data for displaying the screen 510. Then, the progress control unit 332 transmits the display data created by the display data output unit 333 to the mobile terminal 2.

Further, when the lottery button 512 on the lottery game screen 510 or the lottery button 524 on the lottery result screen 520 displayed on the mobile terminal 2 is pressed and a lottery request corresponding to the lottery button 524 is pressed, the progress control unit 332 receives the corresponding lottery request from the mobile terminal 2. The selection unit 335, the association unit 336, and the determination unit 337 are instructed to execute the lottery process. Then, after the lottery process is executed, the progress control unit 332 transmits the display data for displaying the lottery result screen 520 created by the display data output unit 333 to the mobile terminal 2.

Further, when the reset button 513 of the lottery game screen 510 or the reset button 525 of the lottery result screen 520 displayed on the mobile terminal 2 is pressed and the corresponding lottery game screen display data request is received from the mobile terminal 2, the progress is controlled. The unit 332 instructs the determination unit 337 to reset the character card to be drawn. Further, the progress control unit 332 instructs the display data output unit 333 to create display data for displaying the lottery game screen 510. Then, the progress control unit 332 transmits the display data created by the display data output unit 333 to the mobile terminal 2.

When the progress control unit 332 instructs the display data output unit 333 to create the display data of the home screen, the display data output unit 333 creates the display data for displaying the home screen 500 and passes the created display data to the progress control unit 332. ..

Further, when the display data output unit 333 is instructed by the progress control unit 332 to create display data for the lottery game screen, the display data output unit 333 creates display data for displaying the lottery game screen 510, and controls the progress of the created display data. Hand over to unit 332.

The display data output unit 333 extracts the lottery target group ID associated with the player from the player table based on the player ID included in the lottery game screen request. The display data output unit 333 refers to the lottery target group table and extracts the lottery target card ID associated with the acquired lottery target group ID. Next, the display data output unit 333 calculates the ratio of the number of lottery target card IDs associated with each lottery target group ID to the number of lottery target card IDs associated with all the acquired lottery target group IDs. .. The display data output unit 333 outputs the calculated ratio of each lottery target group ID as a winning probability for each of a plurality of groups. For example, if the number of character cards belonging to group A is 12, the number of character cards belonging to group B is 60, and the number of character cards belonging to all groups is 300, each character card has an equal probability of being randomly selected. Since it is selected, the winning probability of Group A is 4% (12/300), and the winning probability of Group B is 20% (60/300).

The display data output unit 333 creates lottery game screen display data for displaying the winning probability, the lottery button, the back button, and the like in a predetermined layout based on the winning probabilities for each of the output plurality of groups.

When the lottery process is completed, the display data output unit 333 calculates the next winning probability based on the updated lottery target card ID of the player table in the same manner as the above winning probability, and is given to the player by the lottery process. Create display data for displaying the acquired character card and the lottery result screen 520 showing the calculated next winning probability.

When the progress control unit 332 instructs the main game execution unit 334 to execute the main game, the main game execution unit 334 creates display data for displaying a screen for executing the main game, and passes the created display data to the progress control unit 332. .. After that, the main game is executed according to the operation by the player on the screen for executing the main game displayed on the mobile terminal 2. In the main game, the main game execution unit 334 executes a battle or the like using a card or the like related to the used card information stored in the player table. Further, the main game execution unit 334 updates the game points and the player level in the player table according to the result, grants the game points to the player, and raises the player level.

When the progress control unit 332 instructs the selection unit 335 to execute the lottery process, the selection unit 335 refers to the lottery target group in the player table, and based on the player ID included in the lottery request, the selection unit 335 is the first category corresponding to the player. Extract each group ID. Next, the selection unit 335 refers to the lottery target group table and reads out the lottery target character card IDs belonging to all the extracted group IDs. The selection unit 335 randomly selects one character card ID from the read character card IDs with equal probability, and instructs the association unit 336 to assign the character card to the player.

When the selection unit 335 instructs the player to assign the character card, the association unit 336 assigns the character card to the player by associating the character card selected by the selection unit 335 with the player and storing it. The association unit 336 assigns the character card to the player by adding the card ID of the character card to the card information owned by the player in the player table. The association unit 336 instructs the determination unit 337 to change the character card included in the lottery target.

When the association unit 336 instructs the determination unit 337 to change the character card included in the lottery target, the determination unit 337 is a group ID of the first category to which the character card determined by the selection unit 335 belongs from the lottery target group of the player table. To delete. As a result, in the next lottery game, the character card associated with the deleted group is not included in the lottery target, and only the character card associated with the group other than the deleted group is selected as the lottery target. Therefore, in this lottery game, it is possible to significantly change the character card to be drawn in the next lottery game.

Further, in this lottery game, even if a desired character card is not selected by the lottery, the probability that the character card is selected in the next lottery is dramatically increased. Since the probability of winning a character card that has not been selected increases each time the lottery is executed, it is possible to sufficiently improve the player's expectation for acquiring the character card and improve the player's willingness to continue the lottery. Will be.

The determination unit 337 may not delete all the character cards corresponding to the group ID to which the selected character card belongs from the next lottery target, but may leave some character cards. In that case, the determination unit 337 determines the character card to be left in the next lottery target and the character card to be deleted from the next lottery target by random lottery. In the player table, the determination unit 337 stores the card ID of the character card to be left in the lottery target in association with the player ID, and the selection unit 335 stores the card ID of the character card to be left in the lottery target in the next lottery. Is included in the lottery target.

Further, the determination unit 337 determines the next character card to be drawn by drawing so as to add the character card corresponding to the group ID to which the character card selected by the selection unit 335 belongs from the character card to be drawn. You may. In that case, the determination unit 337 further adds the same group ID as the group ID to which the character card selected by the selection unit 335 belongs in the first classification of the lottery target group of the player table. As a result, in the next lottery game, the character cards associated with the group to which the selected character card belongs will be included twice in the lottery target, and the character card to be drawn in the next lottery game will be significantly changed. It becomes possible. In this way, the probability of winning a character card belonging to the same group as the group to which the character card acquired by the lottery belongs increases. Therefore, when the player acquires the character card desired by the lottery, the character in the next lottery game It is possible to sufficiently improve the player's expectation for acquiring the card and improve the player's willingness to continue the lottery.

The determination unit 337 determines the next character card to be drawn so that only the character card corresponding to the group ID to which the character card drawn by the selection unit 335 belongs is included from the character cards to be drawn. You may do it. In that case, the determination unit 337 deletes the group ID other than the group ID to which the character card selected by the selection unit 335 belongs from the first classification of the lottery target group in the player table. In the next lottery, the selection unit 335 extracts from the lottery target group of the player table the group ID corresponding to the player in the first category and the remaining group ID in the second category. The group ID that remains without being deleted in the first category is the group ID to which the character card selected by the selection unit 335 belongs. The selection unit 335 refers to the lottery target group table, and extracts the character cards belonging to both the extracted group IDs of the first category that remain without being deleted and the group IDs of the second category as the character cards to be drawn. do.

Similarly, the determination unit 337 deletes the group ID other than the group ID to which the character card selected by the selection unit 335 belongs from the second classification of the lottery target group in the player table. Further, in the next lottery, the selection unit 335 further includes the group ID remaining undeleted in the first category corresponding to the player, the group ID remaining undeleted in the second category, and the third category in the lottery target group of the player table. Extract each group ID of the classification. The selection unit 335 refers to the lottery target group table, and refers to the extracted group IDs of the first category that remain undeleted, the group IDs that remain undeleted in the second category, and the group IDs of the third category. Character cards belonging to all are extracted as character cards to be drawn. In this way, the determination unit 337 narrows down the character cards to be drawn each time the lottery is repeated.

In this case, in the next lottery game, only the character cards associated with the group to which the selected character card belongs will be the lottery target, and the character card to be the lottery target in the next lottery game can be significantly changed. .. As a result, the winning probability of the character card belonging to the same group as the group to which the character card acquired by the lottery belongs increases dramatically. Therefore, when the player acquires the desired character card by the lottery, in the next lottery game. It is possible to sufficiently improve the player's expectation for the acquisition of the character card and to improve the player's willingness to continue the lottery. In this case, the character card to be drawn in the next lottery may be a character card belonging to each group of the two types of classifications extracted most recently. For example, first, in the first lottery, the selection unit 335 reads out the character card IDs of the lottery targets belonging to all the group IDs of the first category, and selects one character card ID from the read character card IDs. do. Next, in the second lottery, the determination unit 337 deletes the group ID other than the group ID to which the character card selected in the first lottery by the selection unit 335 belongs from the first classification of the lottery target group in the player table. do. The selection unit 335 selects the character cards belonging to both the undeleted group ID of the first category and each group ID of the second category extracted from the lottery target group of the player table for the second time from the lottery target group table. Extract as a character card to be drawn. The group ID that remains without being deleted in the first category is the group ID to which the character card selected by the selection unit 335 in the first lottery belongs. Next, in the third lottery, the determination unit 337 deletes the group ID other than the group ID to which the character card selected in the second lottery by the selection unit 335 belongs from the second classification of the lottery target group in the player table. do. The selection unit 335 selects the character cards belonging to both the group ID of the second category extracted from the lottery target group of the player table and the group ID of each of the third category, which remains without being deleted, from the lottery target group table for the third time. Extract as a character card to be drawn. This makes it possible for the player to determine whether or not to perform the next lottery according to the result of the character card acquired by the lottery.

(Step S109). This completes the operation sequence related to the lottery game process.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of an operation flow of the lottery game screen display data creation process by the display data output unit 333. The lottery game screen display data creation process shown in FIG. 9 is executed in step S102 of FIG.

First, the display data output unit 333 calculates the winning probability of each group to be drawn based on the player ID, the player table, and the lottery target group table included in the lottery game screen request (step S201). Next, the display data output unit 333 creates the lottery game screen display data based on the calculated winning probability for each group (step S202), and ends a series of steps.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the operation flow of the lottery process by the selection unit 335, the association unit 336, and the determination unit 337. The lottery process shown in FIG. 10 is executed in step S106 of FIG.

First, the selection unit 335 identifies the first group ID of the lottery target group from the player table based on the player ID included in the lottery request. The selection unit 335 extracts the card IDs of the character cards associated with all the specified first group IDs from the lottery target group table, and randomly selects one character card from all the character cards with equal probability. (Step S301). Next, the association unit 336 adds the character card selected by the selection unit 335 to the possessed card information of the player table, thereby giving it to the player (step S302).

Next, the determination unit 337 refers to the lottery target group table and identifies the group to which the character card determined by the selection unit 335 belongs (step S303). Next, the determination unit 337 deletes the group ID associated with the specified group from the lottery target group of the player table (step S304), and ends a series of steps.

As described above, the server 3 can significantly change the game medium to be the next lottery target for each group according to the result of selecting the game medium, so that the acquisition of the game medium can be performed. It is possible to improve the expectation of the player. Further, since the player can change the lottery target of the desired character card by repeating the lottery game, it is possible to obtain a feeling of nurturing the lottery game.

Further, in the game system 1 of the present embodiment, the character cards belonging to the same group as the group to which the character cards acquired by the lottery belong cannot be acquired in the next lottery. Therefore, the interest of the player in the lottery game is increased, and the continuity of the lottery game can be enhanced.

FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of a lottery game provided by the game system 1 in another embodiment. In this embodiment, a panel corresponding to each of the character cards to be drawn and selectable by the player is displayed on the lottery game screen, and the character card corresponding to the panel pressed by the player is selected. The panel is an example of an object displayed corresponding to a character card.

In the example shown in FIG. 11, the character cards to be drawn are classified into a plurality of groups (group A, group B, group C, group D) including four character cards. Group A is a group of low rarity cards, and group A includes four low rarity cards (character cards A, B, C, D). Group B is a group of medium rarity cards, and group B includes four medium rarity cards (character cards E, F, G, H). Group C is a group of high rarity cards, and group C includes four high rarity cards (character cards I, J, K, L). Group D is a group of high rarity cards same as group C, and group D includes four high rarity cards (character cards M, N, O, P).

In this embodiment, when the lottery game is executed, the panel corresponding to each character card is displayed. Each panel is randomly arranged in each column in the display frame 1102 having a display column 1101 (for example, 4 columns x 4 rows), and each panel is different for each group to which the corresponding character card belongs. The display color is set. In this way, each panel is displayed so that the player cannot determine which character it corresponds to. When the lottery game using this panel is executed, the panel corresponding to the group to which the character card selected by the lottery game belongs is displayed as non-selectable thereafter.

FIG. 12A is a diagram showing an example of a lottery game screen displayed on the display unit 24 of the mobile terminal 2.

The lottery game screen 1200 shown in FIG. 12A is displayed when the lottery game button 502 is pressed on the home screen 500 shown in FIG. 5A. On the lottery game screen 1200, a panel 1201, a back button 1202, and the like are displayed. The winning probability 511 shown in FIG. 5B may be displayed on the lottery game screen 1200.

When any one of the plurality of panels 1201 is pressed, the lottery is executed and a screen for displaying the lottery result is displayed. When the back button 1202 is pressed, the home screen 500 is displayed again.

FIG. 12B is a diagram showing an example of a lottery result screen displayed on the display unit 24.

The lottery result screen 1210 shown in FIG. 12B is displayed when the panel 1201 is pressed on the lottery game screen 1200 and the lottery game is executed. On the lottery result screen 1210, the panel 1211, the image 1212 of the acquired character card, the name 1213, the lottery game button 1214, and the like are displayed.

The acquired character card is a character card corresponding to the panel 1201 pressed on the lottery game screen 1200. The image and name of the acquired character card are displayed as the image 1212 and the name 1213. When the lottery game button 1214 is pressed, a screen for displaying the lottery game screen is displayed. The lottery result screen 1210 may also display the group 522 to which the acquired character card shown in FIG. 5C belongs, the next winning probability 523, and the back button 525.

FIG. 12C is a diagram showing an example of a lottery game screen displayed on the display unit 24.

The lottery game screen 1220 shown in FIG. 12C is displayed when the lottery game button 1214 is pressed on the lottery result screen 1210. On the lottery game screen 1220, panels 1221 to 1225, a back button 1226, and the like are displayed. The winning probability 511 shown in FIG. 5B may also be displayed on the lottery game screen 1220.

On the lottery game screen 1220, the panel 1221 corresponding to the acquired character card and the panels 1222, 1223, 1224 corresponding to the character card belonging to the same group as the group to which the acquired character card belongs are other so that the player cannot specify them. It is displayed in a different color from the panel. On the other hand, the panel corresponding to the character card that does not belong to the group to which the acquired character card belongs (for example, the panel 1225) is displayed in the same state as shown in FIG. 12 (b) so that the player can specify it. The panels 1221 to 1224 may be displayed smaller than the other panels so that they can be distinguished from the other panels. This allows each player to more easily identify the selectable panel.

In this embodiment, the display data output unit 333 creates display data for displaying the lottery game screen 1200, the lottery result screen 1210, and the lottery game screen 1220, and passes the created display data to the progress control unit 332. The display data output unit 333 creates display data so that the panel corresponding to the character card belonging to the group different from the group to be drawn is displayed in a non-selectable manner.

As a result, the player can visually recognize the situation in which the number of character cards to be drawn is dramatically reduced in group units depending on the result of the lottery, and the interest in the lottery game can be improved.

It should be noted that each panel may be associated with a small group to which a plurality of character cards belong, instead of a character card. In that case, when the panel is designated by the player, the selection unit 335 identifies a small group corresponding to the panel, and randomly selects a specific character card from the character cards belonging to the small group with equal probability. select.

In that case, the server 3 does not directly display the lottery result screen 1210 after the panel is designated on the lottery game screen 1200, but the information about the small group corresponding to the designated panel (for example, rarity) and A screen (not shown) for displaying the lottery button may be displayed once. As a result, when the player selects the panel corresponding to the small group to which the high-value character card belongs, the expectation for the lottery is further improved, so that the interest in the lottery game can be improved.

Further, the selection unit 335 identifies the character card corresponding to the panel designated by the player by the card ID of the character card included in the lottery request, and instructs the association unit 336 to give the specified character card to the player. ..

Further, the determination unit 337 may reset the character card to be drawn to the initial state when all the information of the lottery target group ID in the player table is deleted due to the execution of the lottery process a plurality of times. As a result, the lottery game can be continued without interruption.

Further, the determination unit 337 may limit the number of changes of the character card to be drawn. In that case, when the number of lottery processes exceeds a predetermined number of times (for example, 3 times), the determination unit 337 does not change the character card to be drawn in the subsequent lottery processes. As a result, the player can enjoy a new pleasure of deciding whether or not to repeat the lottery depending on whether or not the character card desired by the user is included in the lottery target by a predetermined number of lottery.

Further, the display data output unit 333 may create display data so as to display the winning probability 511 and the next winning probability 523 in a gauge. In that case, when the winning probability and the next winning probability exceed a certain value (for example, 50%), the display data output unit 333 lights the gauge related to the winning probability 511 and the next winning probability 523, increases the brightness, displays an animation, and the like. The display mode may be changed to. As a result, the visibility of the winning probability of the character cards belonging to each group is improved, and it becomes easy to judge the continuation of the lottery game.

Further, the determination unit 337 may change the number of groups or character cards to be deleted or added from the lottery target group of the player table according to the number of player levels or related player IDs stored in the player table. In that case, the determination unit 337 deletes or adds a larger number of groups or character cards as the player level or the number of related players increases. Each player can activate communication between the main game and each player in order to increase the player level or the number of related players so that the lottery target changes dramatically in the lottery game.

Further, the server 3 may share the character card to be drawn by the related players. In that case, the server 3 causes each player's mobile terminal 2 to display a screen for selecting the player or a player related to the player when the player executes the lottery. Then, the server 3 executes a lottery for the lottery target group corresponding to the selected player, and updates the lottery target group corresponding to the selected player according to the lottery result. By doing so, in the lottery game, it is possible to cooperate with related players, and the interest is further improved.

Further, the main game execution unit 334 may give a privilege to the player in the main game when the number of lottery executions in the lottery game reaches a predetermined number. For example, the main game execution unit 334 grants the player a game medium such as an item or a character card used in the main game as a privilege.
