[Explanation of lottery elements]
FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an outline of the lottery elements in the present embodiment.
The lottery elements are appropriately implemented before the start of the game, during the game, after the end of the game, and the like. For example, a login lottery that is performed when the player logs in, a lottery that is executed by consuming virtual currency, a drop item lottery that draws items dropped by enemy characters, a treasure box lottery that determines the contents of the treasure box, and a reward for clearing the game stage. The clear bonus lottery to decide the game, the level-up bonus lottery when the player level improves, the result bonus lottery to decide the reward according to the game results, etc.

The lottery element of the present embodiment can continuously execute the next lottery element when a predetermined continue execution operation input (continuous execution operation input) is detected after the lottery element is executed. This is called "continue the lottery". Then, in the lottery element of the present embodiment, a continue bonus for promoting the continuation of the lottery can be given to the player.

Specifically, the lottery elements of the present embodiment include a main lottery for determining the grant object to be given to the player from a plurality of options, and a sub-lottery for determining the content of the continue bonus from the plurality of options. Including lottery. The main lottery and the sub-lottery (more specifically, the sub-lottery and the notification of the result of the sub-lottery) are executed in a series in order when the lottery elements are executed once.

In the main lottery 10 of the present embodiment, a character (rabbit character) that can be used as a player character is drawn. The choices of the main lottery 10, that is, the lottery candidates, include rare rare characters 4 (4a, 4b, 4c ...) And non-rare normal characters 5 (5a, 5b, 5c, ...). From the player's point of view, the rare character 4 is an object that satisfies the excellent conditions as a result of the main lottery 10, so to speak, a "hit" or "excellent object". On the other hand, the normal character 5 corresponds to a "non-excellent object" that does not satisfy the excellent condition as a result of the main lottery 10.

Then, a plurality of types of lottery sets 6 (6a, 6b, 6c, ...; Lottery settings) in which any one rare character 4 and many other normal characters 5 are combined as options are prepared. In the main lottery 10, one of the lottery sets 6 is selected as the lottery mother body, and one of the lottery candidates of the selected lottery set 6 is selected. Of course, the contents of the lottery candidates in the main lottery 10 at that time are not revealed to the player.

The sub-lottery of the present embodiment is executed when the lottery result of the main lottery 10 is the normal character 5, that is, when the lottery result does not satisfy the predetermined excellent conditions. Then, in this embodiment, two sub-lottery, a probability variation lottery 12 and a hint giving lottery 14, are included.

In the probability variation lottery 12, the degree to which the rare character 4 selected in the previous main lottery 10 is improved in the probability (winning probability) of being selected in the next main lottery 10 is determined by lottery. Then, the result of the probabilistic lottery 12 is notified to the player and reflected in the next main lottery 10 executed when the lottery is continued. That is, the lottery setting in the main lottery from the next time onward is changed.

As a method of the probability variation lottery 12, for example, a method of randomly setting several kinds of probability change degrees as the outcome of the lottery can be considered. The outcomes are, for example, "0% up", "3% up", "5% up", "10% up", and so on.
As another method of the probability change lottery 12, for example, only the presence or absence of the probability change is randomly drawn, and when the probability change is won, the probability change degree is determined by using a predetermined function according to the game progress at that time. May be.

The latter is adopted in the probabilistic lottery 12 of the present embodiment. More specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the changed winning probability calculation function f is used. The changed winning probability calculation function f uses the number of times the main lottery has been executed up to now and the parameter value that describes the progress of the game as variables, and the number of times the main lottery has been executed N is 10 or less. The probability is set to be 100%.

Further, the parameter value that describes the game progress status as a variable of the winning probability calculation function f after the change can be appropriately set in consideration of the game content. For example, the player level, the progress of the played game stage, the billing frequency, the rarity of the rare character 4 included in the lottery set, and the like can be used.
More specifically, it is preferable to set so that the higher the player level and the higher the charging frequency, the larger the number of main lottery executions N at which the winning probability after the change becomes 100%. When the rarity of the rare character 4 included in the lottery set is used as a variable, it is preferable to set so that the higher the rarity, the larger the number of main lottery executions N at which the winning probability after the change becomes 100%.

The relationship between the changed winning probability and the number of times the main lottery is executed is not limited to the direct proportional relationship as shown in the figure, but may be exponential or inversely proportional.

Returning to FIG. 3, the hint giving lottery 14 is a lottery for selecting the content to teach the player a hint for guessing the rare character 4 in the main lottery 10.
The outcome of the hint-giving lottery 14 can be appropriately set as long as it teaches the contents of the lottery setting related to the main lottery from the next time onward. For example, "No teaching", "Teaching only silhouette", "Teaching character name", "Teaching ability value of rare character 4", "Teaching skill of rare character 4", "Teaching voice about rare character 4" and "No teaching". "Combination of teaching contents excluding" is possible. In addition, different teaching levels can be appropriately included in one option. For example, even with "Teach only silhouette", "Teach 100% hidden silhouette", "Teach 70% hidden silhouette", "Teach 50% hidden silhouette", and so on. May be provided. Then, the result of the hint giving lottery 14 is provided to the player as a material for determining whether or not to continue.

It should be noted that the selection probabilities for each teaching level may be equal and any of them may be randomly selected. Alternatively, the selection probability for each teaching level may be changed according to the progress of the game. Specifically, it is preferable that the lower the player level and the game result, the lower the hidden ratio of the silhouette is selected. In the case of teaching abilities, it is preferable that the lower the player level or the game result, the larger the number of teaching levels to be taught is selected. In addition, in a configuration in which the play history and the charge history are managed for each player, the selection probability of the teaching level may be changed according to the play frequency, the charge frequency, the accumulated charge amount, and the like.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a screen example of the lottery element, and shows a screen example in the case where payment of consideration is required to execute the lottery. When the activation of the lottery element is detected, the payment confirmation screen W2 is displayed on the touch panel 1506 of the player terminal 1500. The screen includes a lottery explanation 20, a treasure chest 22, a payment execution operation icon 24, and a cancel operation icon 26.

The treasure box 22 is a directing body for notifying the result of the main lottery 10. When the operation input to the payment execution operation icon 24 is detected on the payment confirmation screen W2, the predetermined consideration payment is executed, the main lottery 10 is executed, and the main lottery result screen is displayed.

When the rare character 4 is selected in the main lottery 10, for example, the main lottery result screen W3 as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed. That is, the result explanation sentence 34 is displayed together with the character image 32 of the rare character 4.

On the other hand, when the normal character 5 is selected in the main lottery 10, for example, the main lottery result screen W3 as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed.

In addition, instead of simply displaying the result of the main lottery, a dramatic preliminary effect may be inserted and the result of FIGS. 6 or 7 may be displayed following the preliminary effect.
For example, when the operation input to the payment execution operation icon 24 is detected and the main lottery 10 is executed, the result of the main lottery 10 may be a rare character 4 or a normal character 5, as shown in FIG. After changing the display form of the treasure box 22 (for example, contour, color scheme, blinking pattern, presence / absence of additional effect, etc.) differently, the screen is switched to the screens of FIGS. 6 and 7. Alternatively, for example, a fighting type production, that is, a production in which the character that is the result of the main lottery 10 and the existing player character are made to fight and the former is won if the latter wins, or the result of the main lottery 10 is obtained. The silhouette of the acquired character may appear, and the notice effect may be realized in the display form.

Further, when a lottery that does not require lottery consideration is adopted as the main lottery 10, for example, in the case of a drop lottery when an enemy character is defeated during the game, the silhouette of the dropped object, the feature display of the outline, and the effect display. You may give a notice effect by adding, etc., or you may give a notice effect by the type of sound effect at the time of dropping.

The main lottery result screen W3 (FIG. 7) when the normal character 5 is selected in the main lottery 10 also serves as a continue operation screen, a result notification screen of the probabilistic lottery 12, and a result notification screen of the hint giving lottery 14. ing. Specifically, the character image 32 of the normal character 5 which is the result of the main lottery 10 and the result explanation sentence 34 are displayed, the continue execution operation icon 42, the continue acceptance deadline display 43, and the sub lottery result notification unit. Including 44 and.

The sub-lottery result notification unit 44 displays a probability variation lottery result display body 45 and an information display body 46 (46a, 46b, 46c, ...). In the example of FIG. 7, the result of the hint giving lottery 14 corresponds to "100% silhouette + one ability + one voice teaching", and the silhouette 46a, the ability display body 46b, the voice reproduction operation icon 46c, and the voice reproduction operation icon 46c. Is displayed. The silhouette 46a represents the silhouette of the rare character 4 included in the lottery set used in the main lottery 10 this time. The ability display body 46b is a display body for notifying the ability parameter value of the rare character 4 included in the lottery set used in the main lottery 10 this time. When the icon is touch-operated, the voice reproduction operation icon 46c reproduces the voice related to the rare character 4 included in the lottery set used in the main lottery 10 this time.

The player sees the main lottery result screen W3 and knows that he / she has missed the main lottery 10. However, the displayed content is not all disappointing to the player. That is, the type of the rare character 4 included in the lottery set used in the main lottery 10 this time can be inferred from the information display body 46 of the sub-lottery result notification unit 44. Further, by looking at the probability variation lottery result display body 45, it can be known that if the lottery is continued, the possibility of acquiring the estimated rare character 4 is higher.

Therefore, if the inferred rare character 4 is absolutely desired, the continuation of the lottery in which the probability of winning the rare character 4 next time is high will be seen as an opportunity for the player. In other words, the solicitation effect to continue the lottery can be expected.

Further, if only the solicitation effect is focused on, it seems that only the game provider side will benefit, but it will be extremely advantageous for the player that the result of the probabilistic lottery 12 is reflected in the next main lottery 10. That is, since the winning probability approaches 100% each time the continuation is repeated, the desired rare character 4 can be obtained much more efficiently by continuing the continuation than by repeating the lottery without continuing.

[Explanation of function configuration]
FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram showing a functional configuration example of the server system 1100 according to the present embodiment. The server system 1100 in the present embodiment includes an operation input unit 100, a processing unit 200, an image display unit 392, a communication unit 394, and a storage unit 500.

Or, it may be realized by using a plug-in such as Adobe (registered trademark) Flash.
Of course, other methods may be used.

The game initial setting data 510 stores various initial setting data necessary for executing the game of the present embodiment provided by the server system 1100. A part of it may be used for distribution to the player terminal 1500. Then, the game initial setting data 510 of the present embodiment includes, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, lottery element definition data 512, main lottery candidate definition data 520, and lottery set definition data 530. Of course, data other than these can be included as appropriate.

The lottery element definition data 512 is prepared for each lottery element that can be activated in the game. One lottery element definition data 512 includes a lottery type 514, a lottery consideration 515, an activation condition 516, and a selectable lottery set ID list 518.

The lottery type 514 indicates a type such as a drop lottery or a clear bonus lottery. The lottery consideration 515 defines the consideration paid by the player for one execution of the lottery element. In this embodiment, the payment amount of the virtual currency is defined. When the lottery consideration 515 is "0", it means that the consideration for executing the lottery does not need to be paid. The activation condition 516 defines a game progress condition in which the lottery element is activated. The selectable lottery set ID list 518 defines a lottery set that can be selected in the lottery element.

The main lottery candidate definition data 520 is prepared for each grant object given in the main lottery, that is, the lottery candidate, and stores various data for defining the lottery candidate. One main lottery candidate definition data 520 includes a unique lottery candidate ID 521, a character name 522, a rarity 523, display control data 524, a silhouette library 525, an initial ability value library 526, and a voice data library 527. , The result description data 528 and the like. Of course, data other than these can be included as appropriate.

The silhouette library 525 stores silhouettes 46a (see FIG. 7) of various teaching levels in which a part or all of the image of the character of the definition data is hidden.

The initial ability value library 526 stores various parameter values that define the ability of the character of the definition data. The type of ability parameter value can be set as appropriate according to the game content. For example, in the case of RPG, it has attack power, defense power, upper limit physical strength value, recovery power, movement power, magic power, and the like.

The voice data library 527 stores voice data of various types of voices of the character of the definition data.

The lottery set definition data 530 is prepared for each lottery set 6.
One lottery set definition data 530 includes a unique lottery set ID 531 and an initial winning probability table 533, for example, as shown in FIG. The initial winning probability table 533 is table data that defines the initial winning probability for each lottery candidate. Data other than these can be appropriately included in the lottery set definition data 530.

Returning to FIG. 9, the user management data 600 is prepared for each user registered as a player of the online game provided by the server system 1100. One user management data 600 stores, for example, a player level 602 and save data 603 in association with a unique player ID 601. In addition, information such as play date / time history data and billing history data can be stored in association with each other as appropriate.

The save data 603 stores various data that describe the progress of the game at the time of saving. For example, a parameter value that can be used for lottery consideration payment, that is, a lottery consideration payment parameter value 604, and player character management data 605 that describes the state of the player character are stored. Of course, data other than these can be stored as appropriate.
It should be noted that what kind of parameter value is adopted as the parameter value 604 for paying the lottery consideration can be appropriately set according to the content of the game. For example, it may be action power, magic points, virtual currency, or the like.

The play data 700 is prepared for each game play, and stores various data that describe the progress and data necessary for executing the game of the present embodiment.
One play data 700 includes, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, a player ID 701, a lottery consideration payment parameter value 703, and lottery control data 710. Of course, data other than these (for example, player character status data describing the state of the player character, enemy character status data describing the state of the enemy character, virtual camera control data, timer counter, etc.) may be included as appropriate. it can.

The lottery control data 710 stores various data related to the control of the lottery element.
For example, the lottery set ID 711 used, the probability table 712 for the main lottery, the main lottery result 713 that stores the lottery candidate IDs selected by the main lottery, the number of times the main lottery is executed 714, the probability variation lottery result 715, and the hint-giving lottery. The result 716 and the continue acceptance deadline 717 are stored. Of course, data other than these can be stored as appropriate.

The used lottery set ID 711 indicates which set of the plurality of types of lottery sets 6 defined in the lottery set definition data 530 (see FIG. 10) is used for the main lottery.

The main lottery probability table 712 stores the winning probabilities for each lottery candidate of the main lottery, as shown in FIG. 13, for example. The initial state is copied from the initial winning probability table 533 (see FIG. 11) of the lottery set definition data 530 having the lottery set ID 531 matching the used lottery set ID 711. Then, the winning probability is changed according to the probability change degree selected by the probability variation lottery of the lottery set.

Returning to FIG. 12, the main lottery execution number 714 stores the number of consecutively executed lottery elements (continue number), more specifically, the number of times the main lottery is executed. The initial value is "1". "1" is added each time a continue execution operation is detected.

The probability variation lottery result 715 stores the probability variation lottery result. In the present embodiment, data that specifies how much the winning probability of the rare character 4 in the main lottery is to be increased, specifically, "0" or a value of% to be added is stored. When the probability variation lottery result 715 is "0", it means that the winning probability of the rare character 4 in the next main lottery is not substantially changed (initial state).

The hint giving lottery result 716 stores the result of the hint giving lottery.
In the present embodiment, the teaching level 716b indicating how much the information of the kind is taught is stored in association with the teaching information type 716a. Specifically, the teaching level 716b in which the teaching information type 716a is "silhouette" stores the ratio of the silhouette covering the rare character 4. The teaching level 716b in which the teaching information type 716a is the “ability value” stores a value indicating how many kinds of ability parameter values are taught. The teaching level 716b in which the teaching information type 716a is “voice” stores a value indicating how many types of voice data are taught (in this case, voice output).

[Explanation of operation]
Next, the operation of the server system 1100 will be described.
14 to 15 are flowcharts for explaining the flow of processing related to the lottery element in the server system 1100. The processing flow described here is executed every time the server system 1100 executes the server program 502 and activates the lottery element at the start of the game, during the game, or at the end of the game.

As shown in FIG. 14, first, the server system 1100 refers to the selectable lottery set ID list 518 of the lottery element definition data 512 (see FIG. 10) of the lottery element executed this time, and any one of the list is selected. The lottery set ID is selected and set to the used lottery set ID 711 (see FIG. 12) of the lottery control data 710 (step S2).

Next, the server system 1100 initializes the main lottery probability table 712 (step S4). That is, the initial winning probability table 533 (see FIG. 11) of the lottery set definition data 530 to which the used lottery set ID 711 matches is copied to the main lottery probability table 712 (see FIG. 12).

Next, the server system 1100 refers to the lottery consideration 515 of the lottery element definition data 512 (see FIG. 10) of the lottery element executed this time. If the lottery consideration 515 is set to a value other than "0", it is determined that the lottery element to be executed this time needs to be paid (YES in step S12), and the payment confirmation screen W2 (see FIG. 5). ) Is displayed on the player terminal 1500 (step S14).

Then, if the payment execution operation is input on the payment confirmation screen W2 (YES in step S16), the server system 1100 executes the consideration payment process of the lottery (step S18). In the present embodiment, the lottery consideration payment parameter value 703 (see FIG. 12) is subtracted by the value indicated by the lottery consideration 515 of the lottery element executed this time.

Next, the server system 1100 executes the main lottery process by the probability calculation to which the winning probability stored in the main lottery probability table 712 is applied, and stores the lottery result in the main lottery result 713 (step S32). Then, the advance notice effect display is executed with reference to the main lottery result 713 (step S34).

Next, the server system 1100 notifies the player of the main lottery result, and assigns the character of the main lottery result to the player (step S36). In the present embodiment, the main lottery result screen W3 is displayed on the touch panel 1506 of the player terminal 1500, and the character image 32 that is the main lottery result and the result explanatory text 34 are displayed (see FIGS. 6 and 7).

Here, it is determined whether or not the main lottery result satisfies a predetermined excellent condition (step S50). In the present embodiment, if the main lottery result is the rare character 4, it is determined to be affirmative, and if it is the normal character 5, it is determined to be negative.
Then, if the excellent condition is satisfied (YES in step S50), the winning rare character 4 is given to the player and the lottery process is ended, but if the excellent condition is not satisfied (NO in step S50), The server system 1100 executes a sub-lottery process for determining the continue bonus.

In the present embodiment, the probabilistic lottery is first executed as the first sub-lottery (step S56), and the lottery result is stored in the probabilistic lottery result 715. Then, the main lottery probability table 712 (see FIG. 13) is changed according to the lottery result (step S58).

Moving to FIG. 15, the server system 1100 further executes a hint giving lottery as a second sub-lottery (step S60), and stores the lottery result in the hint giving lottery result 716. Then, the server system 1100 notifies and displays the probability variation lottery result 715 and the hint giving lottery result 716 on the sub lottery result notification unit 44 of the main lottery result screen W3 (step S62; see FIG. 7).

Next, the server system 1100 sets the continuation acceptance deadline (step S64), and starts accepting the continuation of the lottery (step S66). On the main lottery result screen W3, the continue execution operation icon 42 and the continue acceptance deadline display 43 are displayed (see FIG. 7).

Then, if the continue execution operation is input within the acceptance deadline (YES in step S68), the server system 1100 determines that the continue condition is satisfied, and adds "1" to the number of main lottery executions 714 (step). S70), the process returns to step S12. If the continue execution operation is not input within the acceptance deadline (NO in step S68), the lottery process ends.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a new technique useful for a game including a lottery element. That is, a plurality of lottery processes including a main lottery for selecting the lottery element to be given to the player and a sub lottery for determining the continue bonus can be executed by executing the lottery element once.

In particular, the sub-lottery is executed when the result of the main lottery does not meet the excellent conditions, that is, when the result of the current lottery element corresponds to "out of place" for the player, and the result (contents of the continue bonus) is drawn. It can be presented to the player together with the operation acceptance of continuous execution (continue) of the element. Therefore, the player can be invited to continue the lottery.

The continue bonus includes an increase in the winning probability of rare character 4, which is also changed so that the winning probability increases as the number of main lottery executions increases, so the lottery continue is also an opportunity for the player. Become.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. This embodiment is basically realized in the same manner as the first embodiment, but the handling of the main lottery is different. Hereinafter, the same components as those in the first embodiment will be given the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment, and the differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

The system configuration of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment.
Further, the functional configuration of the server system 1100 is the same as that of the first embodiment. However, after executing the main lottery process, the main lottery processing unit 214 of the present embodiment reduces the winning characters (objects) from the lottery candidates and uses them as the lottery candidates for the next main lottery process. Further, when the winning probability of the rare character 4 (excellent object) is changed, the sub-lottery processing unit 220 can update the lottery candidate by adding at least a new excellent object to the lottery candidate.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the lottery set definition data 530B in the present embodiment. In the lottery set definition data 530 of the first embodiment, the initial winning probability for each lottery candidate of the main lottery was defined in the initial winning probability table 533 (see FIG. 11), but the lottery set definition data 530B of the present embodiment. Then, the number of lottery candidates included in the lottery set is defined in the initial set content data 535.

FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of play data 700 in this embodiment.
From the lottery control data 710 of the play data 700 of the present embodiment, instead of omitting the main lottery probability table 712, the used lottery set management data 720 is included.

The used lottery set management data 720 stores data describing the latest state of the lottery set indicated by the used lottery set ID 711. For example, as shown in FIG. 18, the used lottery set management data 720 stores the remaining number 722 in association with each lottery candidate 721. As an initial value, the initial number of contents of the initial set content data 535 (see FIG. 16) of the lottery set indicated by the used lottery set ID 711 is copied to the remaining number 722. Then, each time the main lottery is executed, the remaining number 722 of the lottery candidate 721 that is the result of the main lottery (winning) is decremented by "1". So to speak, the main lottery of the present embodiment corresponds to each lottery candidate 721 becoming a lottery and drawing from the lottery box, and the used lottery set management data 720 manages the contents of the lottery box. Equivalent to being.

19 to 20 are flowcharts for explaining the flow of the lottery process in the present embodiment. Basically, it has the same flow as the lottery process of the first embodiment, but following step S34, the server system 1100 updates the used lottery set management data 720 (step S35). That is, as a result of the main lottery executed in step S32, the remaining number 722 of the winning lottery candidate 721 is reduced by "1".

Further, instead of step S58 of the first embodiment, the used lottery set management data 720 is changed according to the result of the probability variation lottery (step S57).
There are several possible ways to change the used lottery set management data 720. In the present embodiment, the remaining number 722 of the rare character 4 (excellent object satisfying the excellent condition in the lottery set) is added so as to realize the result of the probabilistic lottery (for example, the winning probability of the rare character 4 is increased by 3%). However (that is, equivalent to adding a new rare character 4), the remaining number 722 of the rare character 4 may be subtracted from the remaining number 722 of the normal character 5. Both the addition of the remaining number 722 of the rare character 4 and the subtraction of the remaining number 722 of the normal character 5 may be performed.

Alternatively, the lottery set definition data 530B having a high winning probability of the rare character 4 is selected from the lottery set definition data 530B (see FIG. 16) having a plurality of types, and the lottery candidate and the initial set content data 535 of the lottery set are selected. By adding the number of contents and the lottery set management data 720 (see FIG. 18), the winning probability of the rare character 4 may be improved.

[Modification example]
Although an example of the embodiment to which the present invention is applied has been described above, the embodiment to which the present invention is applied is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and components can be added, omitted, or changed as appropriate.

[Part 1]
For example, in the above embodiment, the game genre is used as an example of RPG, but the game genre is not limited to this and can be appropriately set as long as the game includes a lottery element. For example, the present invention can be applied to puzzle games, tactical simulation games, shooting games, romance games, training games, racing games, puzzle games, action games, music games, sports games, and the like.

[Part 2]
Further, in the above embodiment, the sub-lottery is executed when the result of the main lottery does not satisfy the excellent condition (when the winning character is not the rare character 4), but the sub-lottery is executed even when the excellent condition is satisfied. However, a configuration that accepts continue is also possible. Specifically, step S50 may be omitted based on the first embodiment (see FIG. 14). Similar omissions can be applied to the second embodiment.

[Part 3]
Further, in the above embodiment, as the sub-lottery, the probability variation lottery and the hint-giving lottery are executed, but it is possible to omit either one. Furthermore, the sub-lottery processing unit 220 can be configured to execute either 1) probability lottery only, 2) hint addition lottery only, or 3) both probability lottery and hint addition lottery. Is.
Specific examples based on the first embodiment are shown in FIGS. 21 to 22 for example. That is, prior to step S56, a lottery is executed in which one of the continuation bonus categories, probability change only, hint addition only, probability change and hint addition, is selected (step S52). If the result is only the probability change (probability change in step S54), steps S56 to S58 are executed, and if only the hint is given (hint in step S54), step S60 is executed. Then, if both the probability change and the hint are given (probability change + hint in step S54), steps S61a to S61c (substantially steps S56 to S58 and step S60) may be executed. The configuration can be similarly applied to the second embodiment.

[Part 4]
Further, although the online game is illustrated in the above embodiment, the same can be applied to a game executed by the player terminal 1500 as a stand-alone game. In this case, basically, the functional configuration shown in FIG. 8 may be read as the one realized by the player terminal 1500.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23, the player terminal 1500 includes an operation input unit 100, a processing unit 200, a sound output unit 390, an image display unit 392, a communication unit 394, and a storage unit 500. Be prepared.

The operation input unit 100 of the player terminal 1500 corresponds to the direction input key 1502, the button switch 1504, and the touch panel 1506 (see FIG. 2). The control board 1550 corresponds to the processing unit 200. The processing unit 200 of the player terminal 1500 has a sound generation unit 290.

The sound generation unit 290 is realized by, for example, a digital signal processor (DSP), a processor such as an audio synthesis IC, an audio codec capable of reproducing an audio file, and the voice of a character related to the game based on the processing result by the game management unit 210. , Sound signals of sound effects, BGM, and various operation sounds are generated and output to the sound output unit 390. In this embodiment, it is realized by the control board 1550 of the player terminal 1500. The transmission of the audio signal from the sound generation unit 290 to the sound output unit 390 may be either wired or wireless.

The sound output unit 390 is realized by a device that outputs a play song, a sound effect, a BGM, or the like based on a sound signal input from the sound generation unit 290. In this embodiment, the speaker 1510 of FIG. 2 corresponds to this.

The touch panel 1506 corresponds to the image display unit 392 of the player terminal 1500. The wireless communication module 1553 corresponds to the communication unit 394. The storage unit 500 corresponds to the IC memory 1552 of the control board 1550.

[Part 5]
Further, the content of the main lottery is not limited to the example of the above embodiment and can be changed as appropriate. For example, in addition to assigning an object such as a character, a prize value (addition value) to a parameter value possessed by the player can be included in the lottery candidate. For example, a plurality of selection candidates having different addition values including an addition value = 0 meaning not to be added can be included in the lottery candidates. As the parameter values possessed by the player, for example, not only the parameter values that can be used as the lottery consideration, but also the skill of the player character, the ability parameter value of the player character, the in-game currency, the free lottery right, and the like can be set. it can.

Further, the main lottery may be executed for each of different element categories by executing the lottery elements once. For example, the main lottery processing unit 214 of the above embodiment is configured to have a first main lottery for selecting an object to be given to a player by executing a lottery element once, and a second main lottery for selecting a prize value. it can. Furthermore, it can be configured to include the third and subsequent main lottery.

[Part 6]
Further, in the above-described embodiment and modified example, it is also possible to determine whether or not to execute the sub-lottery based on the history of the main lottery.

Specifically, to explain based on the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24, the play data 700 is provided with the main lottery history data 722 that stores the results of the main lottery in chronological order, and is shown in FIG. In addition, step S33 is executed instead of step S32. That is, the main lottery process is executed and the main lottery history data 722 is updated. Then, step S51 is executed instead of step S50. That is, it is determined whether or not the history of the main lottery satisfies the sub-lottery execution condition, and if the condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S56.

The "sub-lottery execution condition" referred to here can be set as appropriate, but for example, the ratio of the number of times that a character satisfying the excellent condition is given in the last n times (n is an integer of 2 or more) is m times. It can be set to "do not exceed the reference value (for example, 80% to 100%)" or "a character satisfying the excellent condition has not been assigned within the last n times".
