<Description of continuous lottery process>
Hereinafter, the continuous lottery process of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the control means and the processing procedure described later are an example, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to these. The processing procedure and the like can be appropriately changed in design without departing from the scope of the present invention.

  First, the lottery request means 302 of the game device 3 makes a gacha request based on the user's operation (step S1).

  Next, the medium lottery execution means 202 executes the gacha based on the reception of the gacha request information (step S2).

  Then, the medium lottery execution means 202 selects a character from the gacha list, and associates the information of the selected character with the identification information of the user. Thus, the character selected by the gacha is given to the user (step S3).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the continuous lottery execution unit 203 is in the continuous lottery execution state (step S4). The continuous lottery execution state is a state in which an execution availability lottery is won when the gacha is executed before and the continuous lottery is not non-winning.

  If it is determined that the continuous lottery execution state is established (S4: YES), the process proceeds to step S7 described later.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the continuous lottery execution state is not set (S4: NO), the continuous lottery execution unit 203 executes the execution availability lottery and determines whether or not the execution availability lottery has been won ( Step S5).

  If it is determined that the executability lottery has not been won (S5: NO), the continuous lottery process of the present invention ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the executability lottery has been won (S5: YES), the continuous lottery executing unit 203 selects the winning probability of the continuous lottery (step S6).

  Next, the continuous lottery execution unit 203 executes the continuous lottery based on the selected winning probability, and determines whether or not the continuous lottery has been won (step S7).

  When it is determined that the continuous lottery has been won (S7: YES), the medium lottery executing unit 202 associates the right to execute the gacha continuously with the identification information of the user. Thus, the right to execute the gacha continuously is given to the user (step S8). Thereafter, the continuous lottery process of the present invention ends.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the continuous lottery is not won (S7: NO), the medium lottery execution means 202 is a result of the gacha, that is, until the continuous lottery becomes non-winning after winning the executability lottery The information of all the characters selected in the gacha of is transmitted to the game apparatus 3. Upon receiving this information, the game execution unit 201 displays a list of all characters as a game screen (step S9). Thereafter, the continuous lottery process of the present invention ends.
By the above procedure, the continuous lottery process of the present invention is executed.

To summarize the above, the computer program of this embodiment is
The server device 2
Medium lottery execution means 202 which executes a gacha upon request of the gacha by the user, selects a character from the gacha list storing a plurality of types of characters, and associates the selected character with the identification information of the user, And a continuous lottery execution unit 203 for executing a continuous lottery for determining whether to associate the right to execute the gacha continuously with the identification information of the user when the request for the gacha is requested,
To act as
The continuous lottery execution unit 203 associates the right to execute the gacha with the identification information of the user when the continuous lottery is won.

<Effect of the invention>
According to the computer program of the present embodiment, an interesting gacha can be executed.

[Other embodiments]
In the embodiment described above, an example is described in which once the winning lottery is performed and the winning probability of the continuing lottery is selected, the continuing lottery is executed with the same winning probability even in the continuing lottery thereafter, but the present invention It is not limited to For example, the continuous lottery execution means may determine the winning probability of the continuous lottery every time when executing the continuous lottery.

  In addition, the probability of winning at least one of the executability lottery and the continuous lottery may be increased depending on the number of consecutive logins. In this case, the user can be motivated to log in daily.

  Further, the continuous lottery execution means may execute the executability lottery and the continuous lottery when the number of consecutive logins reaches a predetermined number or more, triggered by the request for the gacha. That is, the continuous lottery may not be executed until the number of consecutive logins reaches the predetermined number.

  Also, unlike the above, the executability lottery and the continuous lottery may be executed within a predetermined period, such as within the period of an event.

  Also, unlike the above, based on the game result, for example, when the user acquires a specific item during the game, the winning probability of at least one of the executability lottery and the continuous lottery may be increased. If the particular item is, for example, an item obtained by clearing a particular quest, the user may be motivated to clear the quest.

  In addition, each time a continuous lottery is won, for example, the probability that a character with high rarity wins may gradually or gradually increase.

  Also, when displaying the result of the gacha, a title may be given to the user according to the number of consecutive winnings of the continuous lottery. For example, if the number of consecutive wins of the continuous lottery is five or more, the "batter", if the number of consecutive wins of the continuous lottery is ten or more, the "king" or the like.

  Also, in this case, the game according to the embodiment is linked to a social networking service (SNS) so that one user can transmit an image showing the result of the gacha to the other user. It may be done.

  Further, although an example in which the winning probability of the continuous lottery is not notified to the user is described in the embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the user may be suggested the winning probability of the continuous lottery on the game screen when the gacha request is made. That is, when the winning probability of the continuous lottery is higher than a predetermined value, a suggestion such as the game screen becoming golden may be made.

  In the embodiment described above, an example is described in which a jewel is not consumed even if a gacha is requested when a continuous lottery is won, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the case of winning the continuous lottery, the user may be granted the right to execute the gacha with the number of jewels (for example, five pieces) smaller than the first gacha.

  Furthermore, unlike the above-described embodiment, the lottery performed when the player has won the executability lottery may not be the continuous lottery. For example, when a gacha request is made, a lottery may be performed to reduce the number of gems consumed when the user requests the next gacha. In this case, if the player continues to win the lottery, the number of jewels consumed for one request for a gacha can be gradually reduced.

  In addition, each time the winning lottery is won, the winning probability of the continuing lottery may increase, or the winning probability may decrease. In addition, each time a continuous lottery is won, a lottery may be executed to determine whether to increase or decrease the winning probability of the subsequent continuous lottery.

  Further, unlike the above embodiment, the gacha in which the winning of the execution possibility lottery and the continuation lottery has been decided from the beginning of the gacha may be executed. In that case, the winning probability of the continuous lottery may be determined in advance, or a winning probability different from the normal continuous lottery may be used.

  Furthermore, the right to play a continuation lottery may be included in the gacha list as a game medium to be granted.

  In the above embodiment, the game medium provided by the gacha is a character, but the game medium may be an item such as a weapon or equipment, or a gem that is consumed when executing the gacha.

  Further, although an example in which the computer device is a server device is described in the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a game device of one user may function as a server device. In this case, one game device and the other game device may be connected by BLUETOOTH (registered trademark). In addition, a gacha, a continuous lottery, etc. may be executed by the game device alone.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the example which is a terminal device, such as a smart phone, is described, this invention is not limited to this. The game device may be, for example, a stationary game device to which a display and a controller are externally connected, or a personal computer.
