Description

  The present invention relates to a game program and a recording medium on which the game program is recorded.

  In a so-called online game played by a terminal device connected to a network, so-called virtual prizes such as characters and items that can be used in the game are provided to the user by a method in which the type of virtual prize is determined using chance. A lottery game is known.

  As an example of a lottery game, for example, in Patent Document 1, a winning of a specific group among a plurality of groups in the next selection according to a request from the user is determined according to the number of times the virtual prize is selected according to the request from the user. A game control method for changing the probability is described.

Japanese Patent No. 5866039

  In the above prior art, once the user performs the requested operation, the virtual prize is determined according to the winning probability controlled by the control program. For this reason, the user's intention, strategy, and the like are not reflected in the process of determining the virtual prize, which is not enough in terms of interest.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object thereof is to provide a game program capable of enhancing the interest of a lottery game and a recording medium on which the game program is recorded.

  In order to achieve the above object, a game program according to the present invention includes a plurality of information processing devices based on a winning probability set for each type from among a plurality of virtual prizes classified into a plurality of types. A lottery processing unit that draws virtual prizes, a prize display processing unit that displays the plurality of virtual prizes lottery by the lottery processing unit, and the plurality of pieces displayed by the prize display processing unit based on a user input operation A selection processing unit that selects at least one virtual prize from virtual prizes, and a provision processing unit that provides the virtual prize selected by the selection processing unit.

  Generally, in a lottery game, after a user performs a request operation for providing virtual prizes, a virtual prize lottery is performed according to a winning probability controlled by a game program, and a virtual prize selected by lottery is provided. . For this reason, the user's intention and strategy are not reflected in the process of selecting the virtual prize.

  According to the game program of the present invention, a plurality of virtual prizes are drawn based on the winning probabilities set for each type, and a plurality of lottery virtual prizes are displayed. By performing an appropriate input operation, the user selects at least one virtual prize from a plurality of displayed virtual prizes, and acquires the selected virtual prize.

  In this way, the user's intention and strategy can be reflected by interposing the user's selection in the process of determining the virtual prize. Therefore, the interest of the lottery game can be enhanced.

  In addition, the game program of the present invention preferably causes the information processing apparatus to further function as a probability variation processing unit that varies the winning probability based on the type of the virtual prize provided by the provision processing unit. .

  According to the present invention, the winning probability of the lottery to be executed next is changed according to the type of the virtual prize provided. Thereby, even when the user does not include the desired virtual prize among the plurality of virtual prizes displayed by the lottery, the user can display the plurality of virtual prizes displayed so that the winning probability of the desired virtual prize increases. It becomes possible to select a specific virtual prize from the list. In this way, since a strategic element can be added to the lottery game, it is possible to further enhance interest.

  In the game program of the present invention, preferably, the information processing apparatus is provided with the virtual processing unit selected by the selection processing unit before the virtual processing unit is provided with the virtual processing unit. In addition, it is further made to function as a notice display processing section for displaying the winning probability changed by the probability change processing section scheduled in the case of a notice.

  According to the present invention, before the virtual prize is provided, the changed winning probability scheduled when the selected virtual prize is provided is displayed in advance. That is, during the user's operation of selecting a specific virtual prize from a plurality of virtual prizes being displayed, a change probability can be displayed in advance for each virtual prize. Thereby, the user can select the virtual prize while referring to the notice display and confirming the variation value of the winning probability. Therefore, it is possible to improve convenience when the user strategically selects a virtual prize.

  In the game program of the present invention, it is preferable that the probability variation processing unit is configured such that when the virtual prize of the first type having the lowest value among the plurality of types is provided by the providing processing unit, The winning probability of at least one of the types other than the first type is increased.

  Thereby, for example, when only the first type of virtual prize having the lowest value is displayed by lottery, the user selects and acquires the first type of virtual prize other than the acquired virtual prize. The winning probability of virtual prizes (including higher-value types of virtual prizes) can be increased. Further, for example, when a virtual prize including the second or third type having a higher value than the first type is displayed, but the displayed virtual prize does not include a desired virtual prize. The user can increase the winning probability of the desired virtual prize by selecting and acquiring the first type of virtual prize without intentionally selecting the second or third type of virtual prize. In this way, the user's intention and strategy can be reflected.

  In addition, the game program of the present invention is preferably provided when the probability variation processing unit is provided by the providing processing unit with the virtual prize of the type that is a target for increasing the winning probability. The winning probability of the type is set to an initial value.

  In the present invention, when a user acquires a virtual prize of a type (second and third types having higher value than the first type) that is a target for increasing the winning probability, the virtual prize of that type is won. The probability is reset to the initial value. This makes it possible to maintain the rarity of the second and third types of virtual prizes that have a relatively high value, and to prevent the interest of the lottery game from deteriorating.

  Further, when there are a plurality of types for which the winning probability is increased, the winning probability is reset only to the provided type, and the winning probabilities of other types are maintained without being reset. Therefore, for example, when both the second and third types of virtual prizes are displayed but the desired prize is not included, the one containing the desired virtual prize among the second and third types By selecting the other type without selecting the type, it is possible to increase the winning probability of the type containing the desired virtual prize. In this way, the user's intention and strategy can be reflected.

  In the game program of the present invention, preferably, the information processing apparatus selects another virtual prize selected by the selection processing unit in the plurality of virtual prizes displayed by the premium display processing unit. It further functions as an emphasis display processing unit for emphasizing the virtual prize so that it can be distinguished from the virtual prize.

  Accordingly, the user can easily visually recognize the virtual prize selected by his / her own operation, and thus it is possible to prevent an erroneous operation when selecting the virtual prize. Therefore, it is possible to improve convenience when the user strategically selects a virtual prize.

  In order to achieve the above object, a recording medium of the present invention is a recording medium in which the information processing apparatus can read the game program.

  According to the game program and the recording medium of the present invention, it is possible to enhance the interest of the lottery game.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

<1. Overall configuration of game system>
First, an example of the overall configuration of the game system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the game system 1 includes an information processing device 3 and a server 5. The information processing apparatus 3 and the server 5 are communicably connected via a network NW such as a LAN or the Internet.

  The information processing apparatus 3 includes a touch panel 7 on which various displays and various input operations by a user are performed. The user performs a desired operation input by touching the touch panel 7 with a finger or the like.

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

  The information processing apparatus 3 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet computer, a portable game machine, or the like. However, it is not limited to these, for example, in addition to what is manufactured and sold as a computer, such as a server computer, desktop computer, notebook computer, etc., such as a mobile phone, a fablet, etc. This includes telephones that are manufactured and sold as telephones, stationary game machines, and the like.

  The server 5 is a server that stores various virtual prizes provided to the user by a lottery game executed by the information processing apparatus 3. In the lottery game, for example, virtual prizes such as characters and items that can be used in various games executed by the information processing apparatus 3 are provided to the user by a method in which the type is determined using chance. The virtual prize may be provided for a fee or may be provided free of charge. In FIG. 1, the server is configured by one server, but may be configured by a plurality of servers.

<2. Server virtual prize database>
Next, an example of the contents of the virtual prize database of the server 5 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the server 5 has a virtual prize database 9. In the virtual prize database 9, for each lottery game executed by the information processing device 3, a plurality of virtual prizes provided by the lottery game are classified and stored in a plurality of types. Here, the “virtual prize” refers to characters (for example, character cards) and items (for example, weapons, armor, equipment, items having various effects, etc.) that can be used on various games executed by the information processing apparatus 3. ) Etc.

  In the virtual prize database 9, a storage (not shown) is set for each user, and virtual prizes acquired by the user are stored in the storage.

  In the virtual prize database 9, a probability recording unit (not shown) is set for each user, and a winning probability set for each type of virtual prize is recorded in the probability recording unit. Although details will be described later, the winning probability is changed by the execution of the lottery game, and the recorded content of the probability recording unit is updated to a changed value.

  The server 5 has a general computer configuration (a CPU, a memory, an input / output device, a recording device, a communication device, etc.) in addition to the virtual prize database 9, but illustration and description thereof are omitted. .

<3. Functional configuration of information processing apparatus>
Next, an example of a functional configuration related to the lottery game among the functional configurations of the information processing apparatus 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 to 8. In addition, the arrow shown in FIG. 2 shows an example of the signal flow, and does not limit the signal flow direction.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the information processing apparatus 3 includes the touch panel 7, the lottery processing unit 11, the individual display processing unit 13, the prize display processing unit 15, the selection processing unit 17, the highlight display processing unit 19, and the notice display processing unit. 21, a provision processing unit 23, a probability variation processing unit 25, and a communication device 123.

  When the user performs a predetermined operation via the touch panel 7, the lottery processing unit 11 selects a plurality of virtual prizes based on a winning probability set for each type from among a plurality of virtual prizes classified into a plurality of types. Lottery virtual prizes. At this time, the lottery processing unit 11 accesses the server 5 via the communication device 123 and reads and uses the winning probability from the probability recording unit of the virtual prize database 9.

  The individual display processing unit 13 individually displays winning probabilities for all virtual prizes to be acquired when a predetermined operation is performed by the user via the touch panel 7. At this time, the individual display processing unit 13 accesses the server 5 via the communication device 123 and reads and displays the winning probability from the probability recording unit of the virtual prize database 9.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of a lottery game start screen. In the example shown in FIG. 3, a game start button 27, a winning probability individual display button 29, virtual prize type buttons 31, 33, and 35 and probability increase rates 37 and 39 are displayed on the touch panel 7.

  When the game start button 27 is operated by the user, the lottery game is started. That is, the lottery processing unit 11 extracts a plurality of virtual prizes from the plurality of virtual prizes according to the winning probability set for each type.

  When the individual display button 29 for winning probability is operated, the individual display processing unit 13 displays the winning probability for all virtual prizes of the designated type.

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 3, virtual prizes are classified into three types “normal”, “rare”, and “super rare” having different rare values. In each type button 31, 33, 35, the initial value of the winning probability is displayed together with the name of the type. In this example, the winning probability of “normal” is the highest at 89%, that is, the rare value is set to the lowest. In addition, the winning probability of “Super rare” is the lowest at 1%, that is, the rare value is set to the highest. The winning probability of “rare” is 10%, that is, it is set to a rare value between “normal” and “super rare”.

  Note that the number of types of virtual prizes is not limited to three, and may be two, for example, or four or more. Also, the name of the type is not limited to the above, and other names such as “Ultra Rare” and “Legend” may be used.

  FIGS. 4A to 4C show examples of individual display screens for winning probabilities. For example, when the classification button 31 is operated and “normal” is designated and the individual display button 29 of the winning probability is operated, it is classified as “normal” as shown in FIG. The winning probabilities are displayed individually for all virtual prizes. In the example shown in FIG. 4A, winning probabilities are individually displayed for 100 character cards N-1 to N-100. The total of the winning probabilities of all the individually displayed cards is set to be equal to the winning probability (initial value 89% in this example) set for each type shown in FIG. In this example, the winning probability of each card is set to be equal (89% / 100 = 0.89%), but it may be different for each card.

  Further, for example, when “rare” is designated by operating the type button 33 and the individual display button 29 of the winning probability is operated, the “rare” is classified as shown in FIG. 4B. Winning probabilities are displayed individually for all virtual prizes that have been selected. In the example shown in FIG. 4B, winning probabilities are individually displayed for ten character cards R-1 to R-10. The total of the winning probabilities of all the individually displayed cards is set to be equal to the winning probability (initial value 10% in this example) set for each type shown in FIG. In this example, the winning probability of each card is set to be equal (10% / 10 = 1%), but may be different for each card.

  Further, for example, when the classification button 35 is operated to designate “Super Rare” and the individual display button 29 of the winning probability is operated, as shown in FIG. 4C, it is classified as “Super Rare”. Winning probabilities are displayed individually for all virtual prizes that have been selected. In the example shown in FIG. 4C, winning probabilities are individually displayed for the three character cards SR-1 to SR-3. The total of the winning probabilities of all the individually displayed cards is set to be equal to the winning probability (initial value 1% in this example) set for each type shown in FIG.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the probability increase rates 37 and 39 are fluctuation amounts that are varied by the probability variation processing unit 25 for the winning probabilities of “rare” and “super rare”. The unit of the probability increase rate is a percentage point (also referred to as a percentage point), but is abbreviated as “%” in the drawing. As will be described in detail later, the probability variation processing unit 25 increases the winning probabilities of “rare” and “super rare” when the type of the virtual prize provided by the provision processing unit 23 is “normal”. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the increase rate of “rare” is + 2% points, and the increase rate of “super rare” is + 1% points.

  As described above, the user can individually confirm the winning probabilities for all virtual prizes subject to the lottery before the lottery game is executed. Therefore, when the winning probability is changed by the probability change processing unit 25 in the previous lottery game, it is possible to individually check the changed winning probability for all virtual prizes. Although the case where the winning probability is individually displayed before the lottery game is described above, the winning probability individual display button 29 is displayed even during the lottery game so that the winning probability can be individually displayed. Good.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the prize display processing unit 15 displays a plurality of virtual prizes selected by the lottery processing unit 11 on the touch panel 7.

  The selection processing unit 17 selects one virtual prize from a plurality of virtual prizes displayed by the prize display processing unit 15 based on a user input operation via the touch panel 7.

  The highlighting processing unit 19 highlights the virtual prize selected by the selection processing unit 17 on the touch panel 7 in a plurality of virtual prizes displayed by the prize display processing unit 15 so as to be distinguishable from other virtual prizes not selected. To do.

  The notice display processing unit 21 is a probability variation processing unit that is planned when the provisional processing unit 23 provides the virtual prize selected by the selection processing unit 17 before the provisional processing unit 23 provides the virtual prize. The winning probability changed by 25 is displayed on the touch panel 7 in advance.

  FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B show examples of the card selection screen. In the example shown in FIG. 5A, three character cards N-22, N-57, and N-12 are drawn by the lottery processing unit 11, and the prize display processing unit 15 stores these three character cards. An appearance 41 and a status 43 are displayed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5A, the character card N-22 is selected by the selection processing unit 17, and the character card N-22 in which the character card N-22 is not selected by the highlighting processing unit 19 is selected. 57, N-12 are highlighted in a distinguishable manner. In this example, the framed display 45 is used as the highlight display, but in addition to or instead of this, other highlight display such as an enlarged display may be performed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5A, the next-time winning probabilities 47, 49, and 51 are displayed for each type at the lower part of the touch panel 7 by the notice display processing unit 21. In this example, next-time winning probabilities 47, 49, 51 are winning probabilities scheduled to be changed by the probability change processing unit 25 when the selected character card N-22 is provided by the providing processing unit 23. That is, as described above, when the “normal” virtual prize is provided, the probability variation processing unit 25 increases the winning probability of “rare” by + 2% points and the winning probability of “super rare” by + 1% points. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 5A, since the character card N-22 is “normal”, the initial value 10% of the “rare” winning probability is increased by + 2% points to 12%, “ 2%, which is an increase of +1 percentage point from the initial value of 1% of the winning probability of “Super Rare”, is displayed as the next winning probability 49,51. Further, the probability variation processing unit 25 determines the winning probability of “normal” by subtracting the total of the winning probabilities of “rare” and “super rare” from 100%. Therefore, for “normal”, a value obtained by subtracting 12% and 2% from 100%, that is, 86% is displayed as the next winning probability 47.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5A, since the displayed character card types are all “normal”, even if any character card is selected by the selection processing unit 17, the next-time winning probability 47 , 49, 51 have the same value.

  In order to make it easy to understand the variation amount of the winning probability, as shown in FIG. 5B, the next winning probability 47, 49 is expressed by, for example, writing the variation amount (unit: percentage point) from the current winning probability by parentheses. , 51 may be displayed together.

  The number of character cards displayed by the prize display processing unit 15 is not limited to three, and may be two or four or more. In the present embodiment, a case is described in which the number of character cards selected by the selection processing unit 17 is one, but the user may select and acquire a plurality of (for example, two) character cards.

  By the processing of the notice display processing unit 21 described above, the user confirms the probability of change for each selected character card while performing an operation of selecting a specific character card from the plurality of displayed character cards. can do. This will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (c). 6 (a) to 6 (c) show a case where the “normal” character card is obtained three times in succession from the initial value state shown in FIG. The winning probability at the time is “normal” 80%, “rare” 16%, “super rare” 4% (see FIG. 8 described later), and is an example of a card selection screen when the fourth lottery game is executed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6A, three character cards N-83, R-7, SR-1 are drawn and displayed by the lottery processing unit 11 and the prize display processing unit 15, and the selection processing unit 17, the character card N-83 is selected. Since the type of the selected character card N-83 is “Normal”, for “Rare”, the winning probability of 16% at this time is increased by +2 percentage points, and 18% for “Super Rare” at this time. Probability 4% is increased by +1 percentage point, 5%, and “Normal” is the value obtained by subtracting the above 18% and 5% from 100%, 77%, as the next winning probability 47, 49, 51. ing.

  FIG. 6B shows a case where the character card selection is switched from N-83 to R-7 by the user's operation. Here, when the “rare” character card is provided by the provision processing unit 23, the probability variation processing unit 25 sets the winning probability of the “rare” to an initial value. In the example shown in FIG. 6B, since the type of the selected character card R-7 is “rare”, the initial value 10% for “rare” and the winning probability 4 at this point for “super rare” % Is increased by +1 percentage point, and “normal” is 85%, which is the value obtained by subtracting the sum of 10% and 5% from 100% as the next winning probability 47, 49, 51. .

  FIG. 6C shows a case where the character card selection is switched from R-7 to SR-1 by the user's operation. Here, when the “super rare” character card is provided by the provision processing unit 23, the probability variation processing unit 25 sets the winning probability of the “super rare” to an initial value. In the example shown in FIG. 6C, since the type of the selected character card SR-1 is “Super Rare”, the initial value is 1% for “Super Rare” and the winning probability at this time is 16 for “Rare”. 18%, which is an increase of +2 percentage points, and 81%, which is the value obtained by subtracting the above 1% and 18% from 100%, is displayed as the next winning probability 47, 49, 51 .

  The notice display of the winning probability as described above enables the user to take the following strategy, for example. For example, as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (c), character cards such as “Rare (R-7)” and “Super Rare (SR-1)” are displayed. Is “Super Rare (SR-3)”, for example, since the desired character card is not included in the displayed character card, the user dares to select “Normal (N -83) "or" Rare (R-7) "can be selected and acquired to increase the winning probability without resetting the winning probability of" Super Rare ". Thereby, the probability that the desired character card SR-3 can be acquired can be increased.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the provision processing unit 23 provides the virtual prize selected by the selection processing unit 17 when the user performs a predetermined operation via the touch panel 7. Examples of the predetermined operation include clicking on a highlighted character card. The providing processing unit 23 accesses the server 5 via the communication device 123 and stores the provided virtual prize in the corresponding user storage in the virtual prize database 9.

  The virtual prize provided by the provision processing unit 23 is not deleted from the virtual prize database 9 and is left as a next lottery target. Therefore, the same virtual prize may be drawn in the next lottery game.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a virtual prize acquisition screen. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the character card SR-1 is provided and acquired by the user. The acquired character card SR-1 is stored in the corresponding user's vault in the virtual prize database 9.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the probability variation processing unit 25 varies the winning probability at the time of executing the next lottery game based on the type of the virtual prize provided by the provision processing unit 23. Further, the probability variation processing unit 25 accesses the server 5 via the communication device 123 and updates the recorded content of the corresponding probability recording unit of the virtual prize database 9 to the changed value.

  Specifically, the probability variation processing unit 25 is provided with a character card of “normal” (an example of the first type) having the lowest value among a plurality of types “normal”, “rare”, and “super rare”. 23, the winning probability of the types “rare” and “super rare” other than “normal” is increased. In addition, when the provision processing unit 23 provides a character card of the type “rare” or “super rare” that is a target for increasing the winning probability, the probability variation processing unit 25 provides the “rare” or “super rare” provided. ”Is reset to the initial value.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of the change contents of the winning probability by the probability variation processing unit 25. In the example shown in FIG. 8, when the “normal” character card is acquired in the first lottery game, for example, in the case where the winning probability of each type is the initial value, the winning probability of “rare” is 10% of the initial value. The winning probability of “Super Rare” is changed to 2%, which is 1% higher than the initial value of 1%. In addition, the winning probability of “normal” is changed to 86% which is a value obtained by subtracting the sum of 12% and 2% from 100%.

  Next, for example, if a “normal” character card is continuously acquired in the second lottery game, the winning probability of “rare” is changed to 14%, which is a 12% increase of the winning probability of 12% at this time, The winning probability of “Super Rare” is changed to 3%, which is an increase of +1 percentage point from the winning probability of 2% at this time. In addition, the winning probability of “normal” is changed to 83%, which is a value obtained by subtracting the sum of 14% and 3% from 100%.

  Next, for example, if a “normal” character card is continuously acquired in the third lottery game, the winning probability of “rare” is changed to 16%, which is a 14% increase of the winning probability of 14% at this point, The winning probability of “Super Rare” is changed to 4%, which is an increase of +1 percentage point from the winning probability of 3% at this time. In addition, the winning probability of “normal” is changed to 80% which is a value obtained by subtracting the sum of 16% and 4% from 100%.

  Next, for example, when a “rare” character card is acquired in the fourth lottery game, the winning probability of “rare” is reset to an initial value of 10%, and the winning probability of “super rare” is a winning probability of 4 at this time. The percentage is changed to 5%, which is an increase of +1 percentage point. In addition, the winning probability of “normal” is changed to 85%, which is a value obtained by subtracting the sum of 10% and 5% from 100%.

  Next, for example, when a “Super Rare” character card is acquired in the fifth lottery game, the winning probability of “Super Rare” is reset to the initial value of 1%, and the winning probability of “Rare” is the winning probability ( In other words, the initial value) is changed to 12%, which is 10% higher than + 2% points. Further, the winning probability of “normal” is changed to 87% which is a value obtained by subtracting the sum of the above 1% and 12% from 100%.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the communication device 123 communicates with the server 5 via the network NW by the processes of the lottery processing unit 11, the individual display processing unit 13, the probability variation processing unit 25, and the like described above. The communication method is not particularly limited as long as information can be transmitted and received.

  Note that the processing in each processing unit described above is not limited to the example of sharing of these processing, and may be processed by, for example, a smaller number of processing units (for example, one processing unit), Further, it may be processed by a further subdivided processing unit. The functions of each processing unit described above are implemented by a game program executed by a CPU 101 (see FIG. 10) to be described later. For example, a part of them is a dedicated integrated circuit such as an ASIC or FPGA, and other electrical circuits. It may be implemented by an actual device such as a circuit.

<4. Processing procedure of information processing apparatus>
Next, an example of a processing procedure executed by the CPU 101 of the information processing device 3 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S <b> 10, the information processing apparatus 3 determines whether or not a lottery game start operation has been performed on the touch panel 7. For example, it is determined whether or not the game start button 27 shown in FIG. 3 is operated. If there is no start operation (step S10: NO), this step is repeated. If there is a start operation (step S10: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S20.

  In step S <b> 20, the information processing apparatus 3 uses the lottery processing unit 11 to draw a plurality of virtual prizes based on the winning probability set for each type from among the plurality of virtual prizes classified into the plurality of types. In addition, the information processing apparatus 3 displays a plurality of virtual prizes lottery selected by the lottery processing unit 11 on the touch panel 7 by the prize display processing unit 15.

  In step S <b> 30, the information processing apparatus 3 selects one virtual prize from the plurality of virtual prizes displayed in step S <b> 20 by the selection processing unit 17 based on a user input operation via the touch panel 7. .

  In step S40, the information processing apparatus 3 distinguishes the virtual prize selected in step S30 from other virtual prizes not selected in the plurality of virtual prizes displayed in step S20 by the highlight processing unit 19. It is highlighted on the touch panel 7 as possible.

  In step S50, the information processing apparatus 3 is changed by the probability change processing unit 25, which is scheduled when the virtual prize selected in step S30 is provided in step S70 described later, by the notice display processing unit 21. The winning probability is displayed on the touch panel 7 in advance.

  In step S <b> 60, the information processing apparatus 3 determines whether or not a virtual prize acquisition operation has been performed on the touch panel 7. For example, it is determined whether or not the virtual premium highlighted in step S40 has been clicked. If there is no acquisition operation (step S60: NO), the process returns to the previous step S30. On the other hand, if there is a start operation (step S60: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S70.

  In step S70, the information processing apparatus 3 provides the virtual prize selected in step S30 by the providing processing unit 23.

<5. Hardware configuration of information processing apparatus>
Next, an example of the hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus 3 that implements each processing unit implemented by the program executed by the CPU 101 described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the information processing apparatus 3 includes, for example, a CPU 101, a ROM 103, a RAM 105, a dedicated integrated circuit 107 constructed for a specific application such as an ASIC or FPGA, an input device 113, and an output. A device 115, a recording device 117, a drive 119, a connection port 121, a communication device 123, and the like are included. These components are connected to each other through a bus 109, an input / output interface 111, and the like so that signals can be transmitted to each other.

  For example, the game program can be recorded in the ROM 103, the RAM 105, the recording device 117, or the like.

  In addition, the game program is temporarily or permanently (non-temporarily) recorded on a magnetic disk such as a flexible disk, various optical disks such as CD, MO disk, and DVD, and a removable recording medium 125 such as a semiconductor memory. You can also keep it. Such a recording medium 125 can also be provided as so-called package software. In this case, the game program recorded in these recording media 125 may be read by the drive 119 and recorded in the recording device 117 via the input / output interface 111, the bus 109, or the like.

  In addition, the game program can be recorded in, for example, a download site, another computer, another recording device, or the like (not shown). In this case, the game program is transferred via a network NW such as a LAN or the Internet, and the communication device 123 receives this program. The program received by the communication device 123 may be recorded in the recording device 117 via the input / output interface 111, the bus 109, or the like.

  Further, the game program can be recorded in an appropriate external connection device 127, for example. In this case, the game program may be transferred via an appropriate connection port 121 and recorded in the recording device 117 via the input / output interface 111, the bus 109, or the like.

  Then, the CPU 101 executes various processes according to the program recorded in the recording device 117, thereby realizing the processes by the lottery processing unit 11, the prize display processing unit 15, the selection processing unit 17, and the like. At this time, for example, the CPU 101 may directly read and execute the program from the recording device 117 or may be executed after being once loaded into the RAM 105. Further, for example, when receiving the program via the communication device 123, the drive 119, and the connection port 121, the CPU 101 may directly execute the received program without recording it in the recording device 117.

  Further, the CPU 101 performs various processes as necessary based on signals and information input from the input device 113 such as the touch panel 7 described above, mouse / keyboard / microphone / game controller (not shown), for example. Also good.

  The CPU 101 may output the result of executing the above processing from the output device 115 including, for example, the display device such as the touch panel 7 described above and an audio output device, and the CPU 101 further performs this processing as necessary. The result may be transmitted via the communication device 123 or the connection port 121, or may be recorded on the recording device 117 or the recording medium 125.

<6. Effects of the embodiment>
As described above, the game program according to the present embodiment causes the information processing apparatus 3 to select a plurality of virtual prizes based on the winning probability set for each type from among a plurality of virtual prizes classified into a plurality of types. A lottery processing unit 11 for lottery, a prize display processing unit 15 for displaying a plurality of virtual prizes drawn by the lottery processing unit 11, and a plurality of virtual prizes displayed by the prize display processing unit 15 based on a user input operation. The selection processing unit 17 selects at least one virtual prize from the above, and the provision processing unit 23 provides the virtual prize selected by the selection processing unit 17.

  Generally, in a lottery game, after a user performs a request operation for providing virtual prizes, a virtual prize lottery is performed according to a winning probability controlled by a game program, and a virtual prize selected by lottery is provided. . For this reason, the user's intention and strategy are not reflected in the process of selecting the virtual prize.

  According to the game program of the present embodiment, a plurality of virtual prizes are drawn based on the winning probabilities set for each type, and a plurality of lottery virtual prizes are displayed. By performing an appropriate input operation, the user selects at least one virtual prize from a plurality of displayed virtual prizes, and acquires the selected virtual prize. In this way, the user's intention and strategy can be reflected by interposing the user's selection in the process of determining the virtual prize. Therefore, the interest of the lottery game can be enhanced.

  In addition, the game program according to the present embodiment further causes the information processing apparatus 3 to function as a probability variation processing unit 25 that varies the winning probability based on the type of virtual prize provided by the provision processing unit 23.

  Thereby, the winning probability of the lottery executed next is changed according to the type of the virtual prize provided. As a result, for example, even when the user does not include the desired virtual prize among the plurality of virtual prizes displayed by the lottery, the user can select the virtual virtual being displayed so that the winning probability of the desired virtual prize increases. A specific virtual prize can be selected from the prizes. In this way, since a strategic element can be added to the lottery game, it is possible to further enhance interest.

  Further, particularly in the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus 3 is scheduled when the provisional processing unit 23 provides the virtual prize selected by the selection processing unit 17 before the provisional processing unit 23 provides the virtual prize. It is made to function further as the notice display processing part 21 which carries out the notice display of the winning probability changed by the probability change processing part 25 performed.

  Thus, before the virtual prize is provided, the changed winning probability scheduled when the selected virtual prize is provided is displayed in advance. In this way, the change probability can be displayed for each virtual prize in advance while the user is performing an operation of selecting a specific virtual prize from a plurality of virtual prizes being displayed. Thereby, the user can select the virtual prize while referring to the notice display and confirming the variation value of the winning probability. Therefore, it is possible to improve convenience when the user strategically selects a virtual prize.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the probability variation processing unit 25 has at least one other than “normal” when the provision processing unit 23 provides the virtual gift of the type “normal” having the lowest value among the plurality of types. Increases the winning probability of the two types “Rare” and “Super Rare”.

  Accordingly, for example, when only the “normal” virtual prize having the lowest value is displayed by lottery, by selecting and acquiring the “normal” virtual prize, virtual prizes other than the acquired virtual prize ( It is possible to increase the winning probability of “Rare” and “Super Rare” virtual prizes with higher value. In addition, for example, when a virtual prize including the “super rare” having the highest value is displayed, but the displayed virtual prize does not include the virtual prize desired by the user, the user selects “super rare”. By selecting and acquiring a “normal” or “rare” virtual prize without intentionally selecting a virtual prize, the winning probability of a desired virtual prize can be increased. In this way, the user's intention and strategy can be reflected.

  In the present embodiment, the probability variation processing unit 25 is provided when the provision processing unit 23 provides a virtual prize of the type “rare” or “super rare” that is a target for increasing the winning probability. The winning probability of the type “rare” or “super rare” is set to the initial value.

  As a result, when a user acquires a virtual prize of a type (“rare” or “super rare” having a higher value than “normal”) that is a target for increasing the winning probability, the “rare” or “super rare” The virtual prize winning probability is reset to the initial value. Thereby, it is possible to maintain the rare degree (rare value) of the relatively valuable “rare” or “super rare” virtual prize, and to prevent the interest of the lottery game from being lowered.

  In addition, when there are a plurality of types (two types of “rare” and “super rare”) for which the winning probability is increased as in this embodiment, the winning probability is reset to the initial value only for the provided type. The winning probabilities of other types are maintained without being reset. For this reason, for example, when both “rare” and “super rare” virtual prizes are displayed but the desired prize is not included, the one that includes the desired virtual prize among “rare” and “super rare” By selecting the other type without selecting the type, it is possible to increase the winning probability of the type containing the desired virtual prize. In this way, the user's intention and strategy can be reflected.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the information processing apparatus 3 distinguishes the virtual prize selected by the selection processing unit 17 from other virtual prizes that are not selected in the plurality of virtual prizes displayed by the prize display processing unit 15. It further functions as the highlight display processing unit 19 that highlights as much as possible.

  Accordingly, the user can easily visually recognize the virtual prize selected by his / her own operation, and thus it is possible to prevent an erroneous operation when selecting the virtual prize. Therefore, it is possible to improve convenience when the user strategically selects a virtual prize.

  In addition to those already described above, the methods according to the above-described embodiments and modifications may be used in appropriate combination. In addition, although not illustrated one by one, the above-mentioned embodiment and each modification are implemented with various modifications within a range not departing from the gist thereof.
