4). Processing of this embodiment 4-1. Next, the lottery process of the present embodiment will be described.

  In the following, by executing a lottery event called “gacha” (that is, an in-game lottery game executed in the game), a lottery effect is performed by a lottery machine, and a card (an example of a game play element) is obtained as a lottery result. An example in which an effect is given will be described. Although three lottery machines are used as a plurality of lottery machines this time, two or four or more lottery machines may be used.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the transition of the game image when the lottery event occurs.

  When a predetermined condition is satisfied during the game, a lottery event occurs, and an image for confirming the transition to the lottery event is displayed on the display unit of the terminal as shown at 400. When the user touches the “execute lottery event” button 402, the image on the display unit of the terminal transitions to a lottery machine selection image as indicated by 410.

  In the present embodiment, the card provided by the lottery event is a virtual card in which characters and the like are illustrated, and has character information, attributes, rarity, and other information as card information.

  The character name is the name or type of the character shown on the card. The attribute may be, for example, an attack defense attribute during battle. The rarity is an index value indicating the degree of rarity of the card. The higher the rarity, the stronger and the lower the probability of getting it.

  The lottery machine selection image 410 includes a first lottery machine 420, a second lottery machine 430, a third lottery machine 440 associated with three lottery events that can be selected by the player, and the lottery for the last n times of each lottery machine. Result histories 450, 460, and 470 are displayed.

  As the latest n lottery result histories 450, 460, and 470 of each lottery machine, the rarity of the appearance card for the latest n times is displayed. For example, in the first lottery machine 420, the rarity of the previous appearance card is “N” (see 451), the rarity of the previous appearance card is “N” (see 452), and in the second lottery machine 430, the previous appearance is The rarity of the card is “S” (see 461), the rarity of the card appearing the last time is “N” (see 462), and the third draw 440 has a rarity of the last appearing card of “N” (see 471). The rarity of the card appearing two times before is “S” (see 472).

The rarity of appearing cards is also the biggest concern for users at the time of drawing. In the present embodiment, the probability of reality of cards appearing by lottery is determined. For example, if the number of cards included in the first lottery machine 420, the second lottery machine 430, and the third lottery machine 440 is 100 and the type of rarity is “N”, “S”, or “S +”, “N The numbers of “S” and “S +” are set for each rarity. That is, if “N” is 80 sheets (80%), “S” is 15 sheets (15%), and “S +” is 5 sheets (5%), if 100 lotteries are performed, 5 sheets will always be “ S + "will appear. Accordingly, the latest lottery result histories 450, 460, and 470 of “Gacha” serve as an index when the player selects “Gacha” (lottery machine). The player predicts the rarity of the card that will appear next in each “gacha” (lotter) by referring to the rareness (450, 460, 470) of the last n occurrences of “gacha” (lotter). A desired lottery machine is selected and a lottery is executed.

  Here, when the user selects the second lottery machine 430 and instructs the execution of the lottery (for example, touches the second lottery machine), the image on the display unit of the terminal transitions to a lottery result display image as shown in 480. . In the lottery result display image 480, a result effect indicating that the card 492 of the rarity “N” has appeared as a result of the lottery of the second lottery machine is performed.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the flow of data communication processing between the terminal and the server.

  When the terminal 10 is displaying the lottery machine selection request image (a) and the player touches the lottery button 402 of the lottery machine selection request image 400 as shown in FIG. The lottery machine selection request (c) is made.

  Upon receiving the lottery machine selection request (c), the server 10 performs processing for reading the latest lottery result history information from the storage unit for a plurality of lottery machines.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of lottery result history information.

  The lottery result history information stores card information of cards that can be used by the user through the lottery. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, in association with lottery machine identification information 610, lottery date and time 620, user identification information 630 of the user who has drawn the lot, card character name 640, attribute 650, rarity 660, and the like are stored.

  The history information of the latest n lottery results of the lottery machine presented to the user may be at least one piece of card information, or may be information (for example, rarity) that the user wants most when selecting the lottery machine. The server 10 may read out only information necessary for presentation to the user and transmit it to the terminal 20.

  Next, in the server according to the present embodiment, when a lottery probability is set for each lottery event and execution of the lottery event (information transmitted in response to the input of the “execute lottery event” button 402) is received, it is displayed on the terminal. A lottery process is executed for each lottery machine to be executed. Hereinafter, each lottery process in the server will be described as an execution process by each virtual lottery machine.

  When the lottery event execution is received, the lottery machine 1 performs lottery to obtain the current lottery result (e) as shown in FIG. The lottery is performed to acquire the current lottery result (f), and the lottery machine 3 performs the lottery to acquire the current lottery result (g).

  The lottery system of the lottery machine 1, the lottery machine 2, and the lottery machine 3 according to the present embodiment may be a carton system in which all users are drawn in the order of cards set in the carton, or a package whose discharge is determined in advance. The contents (card) are clearly shown to the user, and the order of acquisition may be a random package method or another lottery method.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when a selection request for a plurality of lottery machines is received from the user of the terminal 20, lottery is performed for all of the plurality of lottery machines.

Then, the server 10 updates the lottery history information based on the lottery result (h) of the lottery machine 1, the lottery machine 2, and the lottery machine 3. The user obtains the lottery result from the lottery result of any one lottery machine, but since the lottery machine 1, the lottery machine 2, and the lottery machine 3 are actually performing the lottery, the user selects the lottery machine. The lottery result history in the sense that it is used as an index when doing so may include a lottery result history of a lottery machine that has not been selected. Since the player information is not included in the presentation of the lottery result history information, even if the lottery result that is not selected by the player is presented, the player does not feel uncomfortable.

  Then, the server 10 transmits the lottery result history information and the current lottery results (i) of a plurality of lottery machines to the terminal 10. If the lottery involves collection of the consideration, when the lottery result history information and the current lottery results of multiple lottery machines are sent to the terminal, the consideration of the lottery is collected from the user's points. You may make it perform. In this case, for example, a process of updating the user's points information (not shown) stored as one piece of game information is also performed.

  The terminal 10 that has received the lottery result history information and the current lottery results (i) of a plurality of lottery machines displays a lottery machine selection image (j) as shown at 410 in FIG.

  When the terminal 10 is displaying the lottery machine selection image (j) and the player touches the lottery machine selected (k), the terminal 20 displays a lottery result display image as shown at 480 in FIG. . Since the terminal 100 has information on the current lottery result and the effect image of the lottery result for all three lottery machines, the lottery result of the selected lottery machine is not communicated with the server at this stage. Display effects can be performed.

  Then, the terminal 10 transmits lottery machine selection information (m) for notifying the lottery machine selected by the player to the server 40.

  The server 40 that has received the lottery machine selection information (m) performs a process of reflecting the lottery result (n) of the lottery machine selected by the user in the game information of the user based on the selection information of the lottery machine.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of game information.

  In the present embodiment, card information 520 acquired by the user in association with the user identification information 510 is stored as one piece of game information.

  In the present embodiment, when lottery machine selection requests are received from the user, lottery with a plurality of lottery machines is executed, but it is undecided which lottery machine the user actually selects. Before the selection information on the lottery machine is received from the terminal, the game information does not reflect the user's selection.

  Therefore, after receiving the lottery machine selection information from the terminal, a process of correctly reflecting the lottery result by the user-selected lottery machine in the user game information is performed.

  In addition, the lottery machine 1, the lottery machine 2, and the lottery machine 3 may be lottery machines in which at least one of the type and content of the game play elements that appear, the lottery probability, and the value differs.

  When multiple types of “gacha” (for example, normal gacha, billing gacha, comp gacha, limited-time gacha, event gacha) are prepared as lottery events, lottery machine 1, lottery The case where it is executed by the machine 2 and the lottery machine 3 is also within the scope of the present invention.

4-2. Game Process in the Present Embodiment Next, a game that is a premise of the game play element providing process in the present embodiment will be described.

  The game processing according to the present embodiment executes various processes related to the game process in the role playing and the battle process between the user character and the enemy character using a card (that is, a virtual card used in the game) as a game play element. .

  Specifically, the user can register a card provided by the above-mentioned “gacha” (lottery event) or the like in a list so that it can be used for a role playing game or a battle game. .

  And the game process part 115 performs the game process which uses the card registered at predetermined timings, such as at the time of the battle | competition with an enemy character, or the execution of a predetermined game event according to a user's instruction | indication. That is, the game processing unit 115 uses the character shown on the card selected by the user to fight enemy characters, form a team with friends, and exchange information with other characters. In addition, various game events can be executed such as using the items shown on the card to recover health parameters, exchanging items shown on the card with other users, and giving presents. Yes.

4-3. Server Processing Next, the operation of the lottery execution processing in the server 10 of this embodiment will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

  In this operation, the server 10 has already provided a game to a plurality of corresponding terminals 20, and this operation is executed at a predetermined timing during the execution of the game.

  This operation is executed in conjunction with the corresponding terminal 20, and the server 10 executes each process in real time.

  When the server receives a selection request for a plurality of lottery machines (step S10), the server reads the latest lottery results for the plurality of lottery machines from the storage unit (step S20). Next, lottery is performed with a plurality of lottery machines to acquire the current lottery results of the plurality of lottery machines (step S30), and the lottery result history information is updated based on the current lottery results of the plurality of lottery machines.
