The control means and the processing procedure described below are examples, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to these. The design of the processing procedure and the like can be changed as appropriate without changing the gist of the present invention.

First, the lottery requesting means 302 of the game apparatus 3 makes a gacha request based on a user 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 selected character information with the user identification information. As a result, the character selected by the gacha is given to the user (step S3).

Then, the continuous lottery execution means 203 determines whether or not it is in the continuous lottery execution state (step S4). The continuous lottery execution state is a state in which the executability lottery has been won when the gacha was previously executed, and the continuous lottery has not been unwinned.

When it is determined that the continuous lottery execution state is set (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 means 203 executes the execution availability lottery and determines whether or not the execution availability lottery is won ( Step S5).

When it is determined that the execution possibility 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 execution possibility lottery has been won (S5: YES), the continuous lottery execution means 203 selects the winning probability of the continuous lottery (step S6).

Next, the continuous lottery execution means 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 execution means 202 associates the right to continuously execute the gacha with the identification information of the user. This gives the user the right to continuously execute the gacha (step S8). Then, the continuous lottery process of the present invention ends.

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

To summarize the above, the computer program of the present embodiment is
Server device 2,
A medium lottery execution unit 202 that executes a gacha when a gacha is requested by the user, selects a character from a gacha list that stores a plurality of types of characters, and associates the selected character with identification information of the user. In response to the request for the gacha, a continuous lottery execution means 203 for executing a continuous lottery for determining whether or not the right to continuously execute the gacha is associated with the identification information of the user,
Function as
The continuous lottery execution means 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 entertaining gacha can be executed.

[Other Embodiments]
In the embodiment, an example in which the continuous lottery is executed with the same winning probability in the subsequent continuous lottery once the winning probability of the execution possibility lottery is selected and the winning probability of the continuous lottery is selected is described. Not limited to For example, the continuous lottery executing means may determine the winning probability of the continuous lottery every time the continuous lottery is executed.

Further, the winning probability of at least one of the execution/non-execution 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 every day.

Further, when the number of consecutive logins is equal to or more than the predetermined number, the continuous lottery execution means may execute the execution feasibility lottery and the continuous lottery triggered by the request for the gacha. That is, the continuous lottery or the like does not have to be executed until the number of consecutive logins reaches or exceeds the predetermined number.

Further, unlike the above, the executability lottery and the continuous lottery may be executed within a predetermined period, such as during the event period.

Further, unlike the above, the winning probability of at least one of the execution/non-execution lottery and the continuous lottery may be increased based on the game result, for example, by the user acquiring a specific item during the game. If the specific item is, for example, an item acquired by clearing a specific quest, the user can be motivated to clear the quest.

Also, each time a continuous lottery is won, for example, the probability that a character with a high degree of rareness is won may gradually or gradually increase.

Further, when displaying the result of the gacha, the title may be given to the user according to the number of continuous winnings in the continuous lottery. For example, if the number of consecutive winnings in the continuous lottery is 5 or more, it is "Wind", and if the number of consecutive winnings in the continuous lottery is 10 or more, it is "Champion".

Further, in this case, the game of the above-described embodiment is linked with SNS (social networking service) so that one user can transmit an image displaying the result of gacha to another user. It may be.

Further, in the embodiment described above, the example in which the winning probability of the continuous lottery is not notified to the user is described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the winning probability of the continuous lottery may be suggested to the user on the game screen when the gacha request is made. That is, when the winning probability of the continuous lottery is higher than the predetermined value, it may be suggested that the game screen becomes golden.

In the embodiment described above, when the continuous lottery is won, the example in which the jewel is not consumed even if the gacha is requested is described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the case of winning the continuous lottery, the user may be given the right to execute the gacha with a smaller number of jewels (for example, 5 pieces) than the first time gacha.

Furthermore, unlike the above embodiment, the lottery executed when the execution possibility lottery is won may not be the continuous lottery. For example, when a gacha request is made, a lottery may be performed on whether or not to reduce the number of jewels consumed when the user requests the next gacha. In this case, if the player continues to win the lottery, the number of jewels consumed in one gacha request can be gradually reduced.

In addition, the winning probability of the continuous lottery may increase or the winning probability may decrease each time the continuous lottery is won. In addition, each time a continuous lottery is won, a lottery may be executed that determines whether the winning probability of the next continuous lottery is increased or decreased.

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

Furthermore, the right to execute the continuous lottery may be included in the gacha list as the game content to be given.

In the above-described 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 jewel consumed when performing the gacha.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example in which the computer device is a server device is described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the 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). Further, gacha, continuous lottery, etc. may be executed by the game device alone.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example in which the game device is a terminal device such as a smartphone is described, but the present 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.
