JP6792012B2 - User terminal control program, control method, and game system - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a server, its control program, and a system.

In recent years, servers that provide games to mobile terminals via communication networks have become widespread. As a game provided by such a server, for example, a prize acquisition game (so-called "Gacha Gacha (registered trademark)") is known (for example, Patent Document 1). The prize acquisition game is a game in which a prize selected by a random lottery from a plurality of prizes is given to the user.

In recent years, package-type games have been proposed as prize acquisition games. The package method is a method in which the types and numbers of a plurality of prizes to be given are presented to the user in advance, and the prizes are given from among them without duplication. Specifically, in the package-type prize acquisition game, a prize package (a set, a group) is prepared for each user, and the prize given to the user is deleted from the package and is not given in duplicate. The package-type prize acquisition game has a feature that the prizes are not duplicated and that rare prizes can be acquired without fail in the end.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2012-22132

In the package-type prize acquisition game, the user can reset (reset) the package. The user can also change the package to another package. However, in either case, the user must restart the prize acquisition game from the beginning. So, for example, if you want to get a free gift that you have already got, or if you want to get a free gift that is not included in the package, the user should get such a free gift unless he gives up what he has tried so far. I can't. As described above, the conventional prize acquisition game lacks flexibility and limits the activities of the user. As a result, in the conventional prize acquisition game, it is difficult to motivate the user by providing a new package or the like, and there is a risk that the user will soon get bored.
