[First embodiment]
A game system 1 and a game program according to embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

<Description of the game>
In the game system 1 of FIG. 1, a server device 2 and a plurality of game devices 5 are connected via a communication network 6 so as to be able to communicate with each other.

The game described in this embodiment is an online game executed by the game system 1 . In the game, the user of the game device 5 makes one or more characters (player characters or non-player characters) act in the virtual game space, or makes the characters fight against enemy characters. At that time, the game proceeds by, for example, clearing presented tasks (quests) using game media as appropriate.

The game media are electronic data representing game-related elements, such as characters, items (weapons, armor, tools) used by the characters in the virtual game space, rights (tickets) to acquire the characters and items, and the like. included. The user can obtain the game contents by direct purchase by charging, by clearing quests, or by using a mechanism called gacha. The acquired game media are stored and managed in the user DB 221 (described later) in association with the identification information of the user who owns the game media.

Here, the gacha is a method in which the server device 2 selects an arbitrary game content from the lottery lists 222a and 222b (described later) by lottery based on a predetermined selection probability. The selected game content is provided to the user's game device 5 . A user can draw a gacha by instructing the consumption of consumable media or using the right to acquire an item (gacha ticket).

Consumable media are currency, points, and the like that can be used in the game, and are media that are consumed in the game as the game progresses. Consumable media are given to the user as rewards for clearing quests or as billing in the real world.

It should be noted that "the game media selected by the gacha is given to the user/owned by the user" is synonymous with "the game media selected by the lottery process is associated with/associated with the user's identification information." is.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 2, in the game of the present embodiment, there are two ways to obtain game content by gacha: a method of obtaining by “normal gacha” and a method of obtaining by “stock gacha”.

“Normal gacha” is a method in which when the user performs a “draw gacha” operation on the game device 5, the server device 2 draws a lottery for game media based on that operation. In normal gacha, as shown in the screen sc2 of FIG. 2, the user can immediately grasp the content (name, etc.) of the winning game medium (character C), and can immediately use the game medium in the game. .

In the "stock gacha", a lottery for game media is automatically conducted inside the server device 2, separately from the "normal gacha". be. When the stock media are stocked, the user cannot grasp what kind of game media has been obtained, and cannot use the stock media (game media) in the game. When the stock release condition is satisfied, at least one stock medium is released (character SS on screen sc5). By this release, the user can grasp what kind of content of the game media has been won in the stock gacha, and thereafter use the stock media (game media) in the game.

With the existence of the "regular gacha" and the "stock gacha", the user can obtain more opportunities to acquire game media through the gacha than in the case of the "regular gacha" alone. Due to the existence of "stock gacha", the user can progress through the game while acquiring game media through normal gacha, and at the time of release of stock media, the user can know the contents of the stock media that have been won internally. You will be able to use the stock media in the game. Therefore, the enjoyment of playing the game increases for the user.

Such games are executed using home game machines such as PlayStation (registered trademark), portable game machines such as PlayStation Vita (registered trademark), and game devices 5 such as smartphones, tablets, and personal computers. Below, the case where the game device 5 is a smart phone is illustrated.

<Overview of Game System 1>
A game system 1 is composed of a server device 2 and a plurality of game devices 5 .

The server device 2 stores game programs and game data, and manages game data (for each account information described below) of the game device 5 .

The game device 5 executes a predetermined game based on user's operation. For this purpose, game device 5 receives (more specifically, downloads and installs) a game program and game data from server device 2 via communication network 6 .

Note that the game device 5 first logs in to the server device 2 before proceeding with the game. Account information including identification information (user ID) and password for each user is assigned to each user in association with the game device 5 . This account information is transmitted from the game device 5 to the server device 2 at the time of login, and is used for user authentication in the server device 2 .

Mutual communication between server device 2 and game device 5 becomes possible after user authentication. After logging in, when the game device 5 receives data necessary for the progress of the game (data relating to the progress of the game) from the server device 2, while outputting game images and sounds to the display 61 and the speaker 62 based on the user's operation, let the game progress.

<Hardware configuration>
Each hardware configuration of the server device 2 and the game device 5 will be described below.

<Configuration of Server Apparatus 2>
As shown in FIG. 1 , the server device 2 has a network interface 21 , a storage section 22 and a control section 23 . Network interface 21 and storage unit 22 are electrically connected to control unit 23 via bus 29 .

Network interface 21 is communicatively connected to a plurality of game devices 5 via communication network 6 such as the Internet and LAN.

The storage unit 22 is composed of an HDD, SSD, RAM, ROM, and the like. The storage unit 22 stores account information and login history of each user who plays the game, and various programs including part of the game program according to the present embodiment. The storage unit 22 also stores a user DB 221, a plurality of lottery lists 222a and 222b, and various tables.

-User database-
As shown in FIG. 3, the user DB 221 stores, for each identification number of a user who plays the game, information on game media owned (name, type, etc.), current amount of consumed media (number of coins), normal gacha The number of times of execution, the number of stock media in stock (number of stocks), information on stock media in stock (name, type, etc.), and the current mode are stored in association with each other.

The number of normal gacha executions is the accumulated value of the number of times normal gacha (normal lottery processing) has been executed so far. There are two normal gacha execution counts: a value (for stock) used in the process of stocking game media, and a value (for release) used in the process of releasing stock media. Each value is accumulated and reset at individual times in each process.

The mode relates to the "ease of release" of the stock media being stocked. In this embodiment, the "ease of release" is defined in multiple stages, and there is a mode corresponding to each stage. Therefore, in this embodiment, a plurality of modes are set. Among them, the "current mode" in the user DB 221 indicates which mode the user is currently playing.

－Lottery list－
The lottery list 222a is used in normal lottery processing by normal gacha. The lottery list 222b is used in stock lottery processing by stock gacha. Each lottery list 222a, 222b includes a plurality of pieces of information regarding game media.

As shown in FIG. 4, each of the lottery lists 222a and 222b includes information (name, ability parameter, rarity, level, etc.) about the game media to be selected candidates in each lottery process, and the selection probability of the game media by lottery. are associated as one record. Each lottery list 222a, 222b contains a plurality of such records.

The lottery list 222a used in the normal lottery process includes game media with a wide range of values, from game media with low rarity value to game media with high rarity value. The lottery list 222b used in stock lottery processing contains more game media with higher rarity value than the lottery list 222a. The probability that a game medium with a high rarity value is selected by lottery is higher in the case of the stock lottery process than in the case of the normal lottery process.

In the lottery list 222a, there is no record with "not selected" in the game content field, but in the lottery list 222b, there is a record with "not selected". This means that some game media are always selected in the normal lottery process, but game media are not always selected in the stock lottery process. That is, in the stock gacha, there is a case where no game content is selected (no winning).

Also, the total value of the selection probabilities in the lottery lists 222a and 222b is 100%. The lottery list 222b in FIG. 3 illustrates a case where the probability of "not selecting" a game medium is 80%, and the probability that a game medium is selected (that is, the probability that the game medium is decided to be stocked) is 20%. do.

Thus, the probability (20%) of stocking game media in the stock lottery process is lower than the probability (100%) of selecting some game media in the normal lottery process. Instead, the stock gacha makes it easier for the user to acquire rare game media than the normal gacha.

-Various tables-
The various tables are tables that are appropriately used for determining whether the stock release condition is met, setting the stock release condition for the next release, determining the number of stock media to be released, and the like. Various tables include FIGS. 5 to 7, and each table will be described later.

The control unit 23 is composed of a microcomputer including a CPU and a semiconductor memory, and controls the operation of the device itself 2 .

<Functional Configuration of Control Unit 23 in Server Device 2>
By executing various programs, the control unit 23, as shown in FIG. It functions as means 237 and emission number determination means 238 .

-Information processing means-
The information processing means 231 transmits and receives various data to and from the server device 2 and each game device 5 . Data received by the information processing means 231 include a game program download request, a normal gacha lottery request in response to a user's operation, a stock medium release request, account information, a quest execution request, and the like. The data transmitted by the information processing means 231 includes information for confirming that the game device 5 has received the game program, an instruction to execute stock release processing, information on game media associated with user identification information, and the like. mentioned.

- Matching means -
The verification unit 232 uses the account information received from the game device 5 to perform user authentication processing.

-Normal Lottery Means-
The normal lottery means 233 selects one of the game media from the normal gacha lottery list 222a based on the selection probability of each game media when the lottery request for the normal gacha is received. The normal lottery means 233 associates the information on the selected game content with the identification information of the user who performed the operation that is the source of the transmission of the lottery request in the user DB 221 . At this time, the selected game media are kept ready for use in the game even immediately. A series of these processes by the normal lottery means 233 is called "normal lottery process".

The normal lottery process is individually performed for each user who has performed an operation that is the basis of the transmission of the lottery request for the normal gacha.

The normal lottery means 233 also updates the “number of normal gacha executions (both for stock and release)” in the user DB 221 each time the normal lottery process is performed.

- Stock Lottery Means -
The stock lottery means 234 performs stock lottery processing for determining whether or not to stock one or more game media as stock media, separately from the normal lottery processing. Specifically, in the stock lottery process, whether or not to stock game media, and if so, which game media to stock are determined by lottery using the stock gacha lottery list 222b in FIG.

The stock lottery process is usually performed each time the lottery process is performed.

- Stock means -
If there is a stock medium won in the stock lottery process, the stock means 235 makes the stock medium unusable in the game, and writes information about the stock medium to the corresponding record in the user DB 221. By doing so, the stock medium is put in a stocked state. This stock processing is performed without notifying the user of the specific contents of the winning stock medium.

Furthermore, when the number of executions of normal gacha for stock (normal lottery processing) reaches a predetermined number, the stock means 235 selects one or more games from the lottery list 222b excluding game media excluding "do not select". Be sure to select a medium. The stock means 235 associates the selected game media with the identification information of the user in the user DB 221 in a state in which the selected game media are stock media, and in which they cannot be used in the game and are not notified to the user. This forced stock process is performed regardless of the lottery result of the stock lottery process.

Note that when the forced stock process is performed, the number of executions of the normal gacha for stock is reset, and counting is started again.

The above forced stock processing is also performed separately when the stock release condition is satisfied in a state where there is no stock medium in stock. The game media (stock media) that are selected and stocked in this case are particularly referred to as "out of stock media".

In summary, the patterns in which stock media are stocked include the following (a) to (c).
(a) When there is a winning game media as a result of the stock lottery process for each normal gacha run.
(b) When the number of executions of normal gacha for stock reaches a predetermined number.
(c) When the stock release condition is satisfied without the stock media.

- Means of giving benefits -
When all the stock media have been released and the stock media no longer exist, the benefit providing means 236 associates the specific game media with the identification information of the user who has no stock media. The benefit granting means 236 grants the specific game media to the user as a reward for running out of stock.

Here, the specific game content is not selected by lottery, but determined in advance. Specific game media include the right to play gacha normally (hereinafter referred to as gacha ticket), characters and items that can only be obtained when stock runs out, character voices, new techniques (skills) that can be used during battle, character parameters right to change to a special state, consumption media, etc.

-Release determination means-
The release determination means 237 determines whether or not the stock release condition is satisfied. When the stock release condition is satisfied, the release determination means 237 outputs an instruction to execute the stock release process. An instruction to execute the stock release process is transmitted to the game device 5 via the information processing means 231 .

The stock release process is a process in which the game device 5 notifies the user of the content of at least one stock medium in stock, and transitions the notified stock medium to a usable state in the game. is. In response to the output of the instruction to execute the stock release process, the release determination means 237 deletes the contents of the stock media to be released from the "stock media in stock" in the user DB 221 of FIG. ”. The stock media targeted for release are recognized as usable in the game after being added to the "owned game media".

Here, the stock release condition will be described. The stock release conditions of this embodiment include the following (i) to (iii). When any one of the following (i) to (iii) is established, the release determination means 237 of the present embodiment determines that the stock release condition is satisfied, and outputs an instruction to execute the stock release process.
(i) A stock medium release lottery is performed with a predetermined release probability shown in FIG. (ii) Separately from (i) above, when the number of executions of the normal gacha for release reaches the prescribed number of times shown in the bold frame in FIG.
(iii) In addition to (i) and (ii) above, the information processing means 231 receives a stock medium release request from the game device 5 .

Here, the above (iii) corresponds to the case where execution of the stock release process is instructed based on the operation performed by the user on the game device 5 . That is, the above (iii) is a condition when the user voluntarily performs an operation to release stock media in exchange for consumption of consumable media such as in-game currency.

The above (i) is a condition for determining by lottery whether or not to release stock, and the above (ii) and (iii) are conditions for forcibly performing stock release processing.

Furthermore, every time the release determining means 237 outputs an instruction to execute the stock release process, it determines the specified number of times (ii) for the next stock release process.

FIG. 6 is a table used when determining the prescribed number of times in (ii) above. In FIG. 6, a specified number of times is set for each mode, and the probability of selecting each mode is represented by "distribution". According to FIG. 6, there are seven modes from mode A to mode G, and the specified number of times is different for each mode. According to the "distribution", modes are likely to be selected in the order of mode A, mode G, mode F, modes B to D, and mode E.

For example, assume that the release determining means 237 selects the mode B after outputting an instruction to execute the stock release process in the mode E state. In this case, the next specified number of times in (ii) above is set to "5 times". The release determination means 237 performs a stock medium release lottery with a predetermined release probability (for example, 0.5%) according to the above (i) until the number of executions of the normal gacha for release in the user DB 221 reaches four.

As a result, when the release of the stock medium is won, the release determination means 237 determines that the stock release condition (i) is met. Even if the release is not won, if a stock medium release request is received during this period, the release determination means 237 determines that the stock release condition (iii) is satisfied. Even if the above (i) and (iii) are not satisfied, the release determination means 237 determines that the above stock release condition (ii) is satisfied when the number of executions of the normal gacha for release reaches 5 times. do.

In mode A in FIG. 6 (within the thick frame in FIG. 6), the specified number of times is "0 times" and the distribution is "50%". The specified number of times "0 times" means that the above stock release condition (ii) is immediately satisfied when mode A is selected without performing a new normal gacha (normal lottery process). Therefore, once the mode A is selected, the mode A continues to be selected with a probability of 50%, and unless the other modes B to G are selected, the instruction to execute the stock release process continues to be output. That is, once mode A is selected, stock media ejection will occur continuously with a 50% probability.

When outputting an instruction to execute the stock release process, the release determination unit 237 also determines which stock medium is to be released from among the stock media, and outputs the content thereof. In this embodiment, stock media are released in order from the oldest stocked medium (First In-First Out: FIFO method).

-Release number determination means-
The release number determining means 238 determines the number of stock media that is notified to the user and becomes usable in the game when the stock release condition described above is satisfied. In other words, the release number determining means 238 determines how many stock media are to be released for one stock release process.

Specifically, when any one of the stock release conditions (i) and (ii) is satisfied, the release number determining means 238 determines the number of stock media to be released by lottery according to the table in FIG. In the table of FIG. 7, the probability (distribution) of selecting the number of releases of the stock medium is defined for each number of releases of the stock medium. According to FIG. 7, the number of releases "1" has a probability of 50%, "2" has a probability of 25%, "3" has a probability of 20%, and "all" has a probability of 5%.

Information on the number of items to be released determined by the number of items to be released determination means 238 is transmitted to the game device 5 together with an instruction to execute the stock release process. Along with the output of the release number information, the release number determination means 238 subtracts the determined release number from the stock number of stock media in the user DB 221 of FIG.

If the stock release condition (iii) above is satisfied, the user also specifies the number of stock media to be released. In this case, the release number determination means 238 subtracts the specified release number from the stock number of stock media in the user DB 221 of FIG.

<Configuration of game device 5>
A plurality of game devices 5 all have the same configuration.

As shown in FIG. 1, the game device 5 has a display 61, a speaker 62 and a touch pad 63 externally connected or built therein.

The graphics processing unit 52 draws game images including characters and various objects related to the virtual game space in a moving image format according to the game image information output from the control unit 56 . The graphics processing unit 52 is connected to, for example, a liquid crystal display 61, and a game image rendered in a moving image format is displayed on the display 61 as a game screen.

The audio processing unit 53 is connected to the speaker 62 , reproduces and synthesizes the game sound according to the instruction of the control unit 56 , and outputs it from the speaker 62 .

The operation unit 54 is connected to the touch pad 63 and transmits/receives data regarding operation input to/from the touch pad 63 . The user inputs operation signals to the game device 5 by touching the touch pad 63 .

The storage unit 55 is configured with an HDD, SSD, RAM, ROM, and the like. The storage unit 55 stores game data downloaded from the server device 2, various programs including part of the game program, account information of the device 5, and the like.

The control unit 56 is composed of a microcomputer including a CPU and a semiconductor memory, and controls the operation of the device 5 itself.

<Functional Configuration of Control Unit 56 in Game Device 5>
The control unit 56 functions as communication means 561, game execution means 562, and notification control means 563 by executing various programs.

-Means of communication-
The communication means 561 is a function of communicating with the server device 2 via the network interface 51 . The communication unit 561 generates and transmits information that can be grasped by the server device 2 according to various operation signals received by the operation unit 54 from the touch pad 63 .

For example, the communication means 561 transmits to the server device 2 account information, a request to download game data, a request to execute a quest, a request to draw a lottery for normal gacha, a request to release stock media, and the like. Further, the communication means 561 receives from the server device 2 the game data sent from the server device 2 in response to the download request information, the instruction to execute the stock release process, the information on the game media, and the like.

-Game execution means-
The game execution means 562 reads data such as virtual game space objects and textures included in the game data from the storage unit 55 or uses data received from the server device 2 according to the operation of the touch pad 63 by the user of the device 5 . to generate two-dimensional or three-dimensional game image information while executing the game program. As the game image information is processed by the graphics processing unit 52 , the processed game image is sequentially displayed on the display 61 .

Then, the game executing means 562 arranges the character on the game image according to the user's operation of the device 5, and controls the action of the character in the virtual game space according to the user's operation and the progress of the game. The game executing means 562 uses game media to execute games such as quests.

- Notification control means -
The notification control means 563 performs display control of the display 61 and audio output control of the speaker 62 according to the operation of the user of the own device 5 and the like when executing the game.

As for the normal gacha, as shown in FIG. 2, the notification control means 563 displays a screen sc1 for accepting the normal gacha drawing operation, and a screen sc2 after the user performs the "drawing gacha" operation on the screen sc1. 61. When a “draw gacha” operation is performed on the reception screen sc1, a lottery request for normal gacha is sent to the server device 2 . The screen sc2 is a screen for notifying the user of the contents of the game media won as a result of the normal lottery process, regardless of the stock gacha.

As for the stock gacha, the notification control means 563 performs the stock release process described above, and causes the display 61 to display the screens sc3 to sc5 of FIG. 8 regarding the release of the stock medium.

The screen sc3 is an example of a screen when the above-described stock release conditions (i) and (ii) are automatically satisfied among the stock release conditions. The screen sc3 is displayed when the stock release processing execution instruction is transmitted from the server device 2 due to the fulfillment of the stock release conditions (i) and (ii) above.

The screen sc4 is an example of a screen displayed in relation to the fulfillment of the stock release condition (iii). When the user selects the "release" button b1 from the screen sc4, the stock release condition (iii) is satisfied, and the game device 5 transmits a request for releasing the stock medium to the server device 2. FIG. On the screen sc4, the user can also set the number of stock media to be released while considering the consumption amount of the consumable media.

The screen sc5 is displayed after the screens sc3 and sc4, and is a screen for notifying the user of the content of the stock medium to be released. When the screen sc5 is displayed, the stock medium has transitioned from being unusable to being usable in the game. The screen sc5 is displayed according to the information about the stock medium to be released, which is transmitted from the server device 2. FIG. From this screen sc5, the user can know the content of the stock medium for the first time, and can use the stock medium thereafter. Therefore, the display on the screen sc5 means that the stock release process has been performed.

On the screen sc5, "Continue" is displayed at the bottom right of the stock medium to be released. This means that there will be more stock media to be released this time, and stock media will be released continuously. The notification control means 563 continuously displays the screen sc5 according to the number of stock media determined by the release number determination means 238 or the mode.

In addition, the notification control means 563 causes the display 61 to display the screens sc6 and sc7 in FIG.

The screen sc6 is a screen during game execution. In the upper part of the screen sc6, information inf1 indicating the degree of expectation that the stock release condition is satisfied is displayed. The notation of this information inf1 is appropriately determined according to the current mode in the user DB 221, the remaining number of times until the number of executions of the normal gacha for release reaches the specified number of times, and the like.

The screen sc7 is a screen for informing the user of information inf2 to that effect when the stock release conditions (i) and (ii) are internally satisfied but there is no stock medium in stock. The screen sc7 also displays the contents of the specific game content "gacha ticket", which is the benefit of the stock being exhausted. This screen sc7 shows that the stock release conditions (i) and (ii) above have been satisfied, that the number of stock media is currently "0", and information representing the content of the specific game media are displayed on the server device. 2 is displayed on the display 61 .

The notification control means 563 causes the speaker 62 to output sounds associated with the contents of the screens sc1 to sc7 as the various screens sc1 to sc7 are displayed.

<Flow of Operation of Game System 1>
The operation of the game system 1 of the present embodiment is broadly divided into "processing flow for stocking game media" and "processing flow for releasing stock media".

- Flow of processing to stock game media -
FIG. 10 is a flow chart of processing for stocking game media, which is performed by the server device 2 .

It is assumed that the screen sc1 of FIG. 2 is displayed on the display 61 of the game device 5, and the user performs a "pull gacha" operation on this screen sc1. In this case, the game device 5 outputs a lottery request for normal gacha.

When the server device 2 receives the lottery request for the normal gacha (YES in step St1), it performs processing related to the normal gacha. Specifically, the normal lottery means 233 executes normal lottery processing using the lottery list 222a. The normal lottery means 233 increments the "normal gacha execution count (both for stock and release)" in the corresponding record in the user DB 221 of FIG. , add it to "Owned game media". The information processing means 231 transmits information about the game content to the game device 5, which is the source of the lottery request (step St2).

As a result, the screen sc2 in FIG. 2 is displayed on the display 61 of the game device 5, and the content of the game media won in the normal gacha is notified to the user. The winning game media can be used in the game immediately.

Further, the server device 2 performs forced stock processing (steps St4 and St5) and stock processing (steps St6 to St8) associated with the stock lottery processing as processing related to the stock gacha.

Specifically, when the number of executions of the normal gacha for stock at the present time reaches a predetermined number (Yes in step St3), the stock means 235 selects the game media from the lottery list 222b excluding "do not select". One or more game media are selected from the list and determined as stock media (step St4).

Next, the stock means 235 updates the user DB 221 (step St5). Specifically, the stock means 235 adds the determined stock medium to the "stock medium in stock" and increments the "stock number of stock medium". The stock means 235 resets the number of executions of normal gacha for stock. The process of step St5 is performed without notifying the user of the stock medium.

As a result, the stock medium is associated with the user's identification information and is stocked in a state in which it cannot be used in the game.

Even if the number of executions of normal gacha has not reached the predetermined number (No in step St3), the stock lottery means 234 performs stock lottery processing using the lottery list 222b (step St6). If there is a winning stock medium (Yes in step St7), the stock means 235 updates the user DB 221 (step St8) in the same manner as in step St5. If there is no winning stock medium (No in step St7), the process in step St8 is not performed.

- Flow of processing for releasing stock media -
FIG. 11 is a flow chart of processing for releasing stock media, which is performed by the server device 2 .

As a premise, it is assumed that one of the modes in the table of FIG. 6 is randomly set in advance as the current mode. On the game device 5 side, a screen sc6 including information inf1 corresponding to the set mode is displayed on the display 61. FIG.

Assume that the normal lottery means 233 of the server device 2 executes normal lottery processing in response to the normal gacha lottery request in step St1 (step St2). Separately from the process of FIG. 10, the release determination means 237 compares the number of executions of the normal gacha for release with the specified number of times (step St11).

When the number of times of execution reaches the specified number of times (Yes in step St11) and there is a stock medium in stock (Yes in step 12), the discharge determination means 237 determines that the stock discharge condition (ii) is satisfied. It is determined that This determination result is transmitted to the game device 5 of the user whose number of times of execution has reached the specified number of times (step St13). As a result, the screen sc3 of FIG. 8 is displayed on the display 61 of the game device 5. FIG.

If the number of times of execution has not reached the specified number (No in step St11), the release determining means 237 performs a stock medium release lottery with a predetermined release probability according to the current mode (step St14). When the release of the stock medium is won (Yes in step St15), the release determination means 237 determines that the stock release condition (i) is established. Thereafter, the processes of steps St12 and St13 are performed.

On the game device 5 side, when the user intentionally performs an operation to release the stock media on the screen sc4 and the server device 2 receives the request to release the stock media (Yes in step St16), the release determination means 237 , it is determined that the stock release condition (iii) above is established.

After steps St13 and St16, the release number determination means 238 determines the release number of stock media notified to the user and usable in the game by lottery using the table of FIG. 7 or the like (step St17). The release determining means 237 extracts the determined number of stock media to be released in the order in which they are stocked, thereby determining the stock media to be released (step St18).

The information processing means 231 transmits the stock release process execution instruction, the content of the stock medium to be released, and the number of releases to the corresponding game device 5 (step St19).

On the other hand, in the server device 2, the stock media to be released are rewritten from the "stock media in stock" in the user DB 221 to the "owned game media", and the "number of stock media" is changed to the number of releases. A process of subtracting only, and a process of resetting the “execution count of normal gacha for release” are performed.

As a result, the notification control means 563 of the game device 5 displays the screen sc5 of FIG. . The user can grasp the contents of the stock media.

Furthermore, since the stock release process has been performed, the release determination means 237 resets the mode for the next release based on the table of FIG. The reset mode is overwritten in the user DB 221 . As a result, the specified number of times for the next discharge may be changed.

In step St12, if there is no stock medium in stock (No in step St12), the benefit giving unit 236 gives the specific game medium to the user (step St20). The information processing means 231 transmits to the game device 5 the fact that the stock has run out and the information (contents) regarding the specific game content (step St21). As a result, the screen sc7 is displayed on the display 61 of the game device 5. FIG.

Although not shown in FIG. 11, in step St12, if there is no stock medium in stock (No in step St12), the stock means 235 performs forced stock processing similar to steps St4 and St5 in FIG. The notification control means 563 performs stock release processing. In this forced stock process, game media are selected as out-of-stock media and associated with the user's identification information. In the stock release process, the notification control means 563 notifies the user of the out-of-stock medium, and transitions to a usable state in the game.

To summarize the above, the game program of the present embodiment causes the control unit 56 (computer) of the game device 5 to function as the game execution means 562 for executing the game according to the user's operation, and the control unit of the server device 2 23 (computer) has stock lottery means 234 for performing stock lottery processing for determining whether or not to stock one or more game media from a plurality of game media related to the game as stock media, and winning stock media. In this case, it functions as a stock means 235 that associates the winning stock medium with the identification information of the user in a state where it cannot be used in the game, and controls the controller (computer) of the game device 5 when the stock release condition is satisfied. , the content of at least one of the stock media in stock is notified to the user via the display 61 and the speaker 62 (notification unit), and the stock media to be notified is changed to a state usable in the game. It functions as notification control means 563 for performing processing.

<Effect of invention>
According to the stock gacha of the present embodiment, the game media won by the stock lottery process are stocked as stock media in a state in which they cannot be used in the game. When the stock release condition is met, the content of at least one of the stock media is notified to the user, and the notified stock medium is made usable in the game. As a result, the user can proceed with the game while anticipating that the game content may be stocked and waiting for the stock release process. Therefore, the game becomes more interesting.

Further, in the present embodiment, normal gacha (normal lottery processing) according to user's operation is performed separately from the stock gacha. The contents of the game media won in the normal gacha are associated with the user's identification information in a state that they can be used in the game, regardless of whether the stock release condition is satisfied or not, and notified to the user. This allows the user to enjoy both the stock gacha and the normal gacha.

The stock lottery means 234 performs a stock lottery process each time a normal gacha (normal lottery process) is performed. As a result, when the user pulls the gacha, the user can guess that "the stock media may have been stocked internally", which further increases the interest of the game.

The stock means 235 performs the compulsory stock process regardless of the lottery result of the stock lottery process when the number of executions of the normal gacha for stock reaches a predetermined number. As a result, the user usually draws a gacha to acquire stock media.

The probability that game media are determined to be stocked in the stock lottery process differs from the probability that game media are selected in the normal gacha. In particular, in the present embodiment, the probability of stocking game media is lower than the probability of selecting game media in normal gacha.

In addition, when the stock release condition is satisfied in a state in which there is no stock medium in stock, the stock means 235 performs forced stock processing for stocking out-of-stock media regardless of the lottery result of the stock lottery processing, and performs notification control. Means 563 notifies the user of the out-of-stock medium and transitions to a usable state in the game. In other words, even if the stock medium does not exist, satisfying the stock release condition does not harm the user. Conversely, since stock media (media out of stock) will certainly exist, this can be one of the factors that increase the interest of the game.

If there is no stock medium in stock, the notification control means 563 notifies the user of this, as indicated by information inf2 on the screen sc7. This screen sc7 allows the user to grasp the presence or absence of stock media.

Furthermore, when there is no stock medium in stock, a predetermined specific game medium "gacha ticket" is given to the user, as shown in the screen sc7. As a result, the lack of user expectations due to the absence of stock media is further suppressed.

The notification control means 563 notifies the user of information inf1 suggesting the degree of expectation that the stock release condition will be satisfied, as shown on the screen sc6. As a result, the user can have a sense of expectation that the stock will be released soon.

As shown in (i) above, the release determination means 237 performs a stock medium release lottery with a predetermined release probability each time the normal gacha is executed. The release determination means 237 determines that the stock release condition is met when it is determined by the release lottery that the stock medium is to be released. As a result, the user can expect the stock medium to be released and execute the normal gacha.

Furthermore, as shown in the above (ii), the release determination means 237 determines that the stock release condition has been met when the number of executions of the normal gacha for release reaches the specified number of times. Thereby, the user repeats the normal gacha in order to make the number of executions of the normal gacha for release reach the specified number of times. An increase in the number of normal gacha games will lead to the release of stock media, so expectations for the release of stock media will increase.

Also, the release determining means 237 determines the specified number of times each time the stock release process is performed. In other words, since the prescribed number of times is not always constant, the game becomes more interesting.

In addition, as shown in (iii) above, the release determination means 237 determines that the stock release condition is satisfied when execution of the stock release process is instructed based on the user's operation. That is, the user can release the stock medium at his or her own will.

In this embodiment, the number of stock media to be used in the game is determined by the number-of-discharge determining means 238, which is notified to the user when the stock-discharge condition is satisfied. In particular, in this embodiment, the number of stock media is determined by lottery. This makes the game more interesting than when the number of stock media released is always constant.

[Second embodiment]
In this embodiment, a case in which stock release conditions are different from those in the first embodiment will be described.

Since the conditions other than the stock release condition are the same as those in the first embodiment, only the stock release condition whose establishment is determined by the release determination means 237 will be described below.

-About stock release conditions-
FIG. 12 is a table used in place of FIG. 5 for determining whether the stock release condition is satisfied in this embodiment. Also in this embodiment, a plurality of modes A to C are set in which the "ease of release" of the stock medium is defined in a plurality of stages. Modes A to C correspond to the first mode. As shown in FIG. 12(a), the ejection probability of the stock medium differs for each mode. The emission probability is set so that mode A is the least likely to be emitted and mode C is the most likely to be emitted.

FIG. 12(b) represents the transition probabilities of each mode A to C. FIG. For example, if the current mode is "mode A", the probability of staying in mode A is 70%, and the probability of switching to mode B is 20%. The probability of transitioning to mode C is 10%. If the current mode is "mode C", the probability of switching to mode A is 10%, and the probability of switching to mode B is 20%. The probability of staying in mode C is 70%.

The release determination means 237 performs a lottery for transition to modes A to C at a predetermined timing using FIG. 12(b). Predetermined timings include timing when normal gacha is played, timing when stock media are released, timing when special game media are won in normal gacha, timing when special game media are used, for example, when the same game media are played consecutively. For example, a game content won in a regular gacha satisfies a predetermined condition, such as when a player wins three times.

In the operation flow of this embodiment, which will be described later, the predetermined timing is the timing when the stock medium is discharged.

Then, each time the normal gacha is executed (the normal lottery process is performed), the release determination means 237 uses FIG. conduct. As a result of the release lottery, when the stock medium release is won, the release determination means 237 determines that the stock release condition is met.

That is, in this embodiment, unlike the above (i) of the first embodiment, the emission probability is not constant, but changes depending on the mode during stay.

Further, similarly to the above (iii) of the first embodiment, even when the information processing means 231 receives a stock medium release request from the game device 5, the release determination means 237 determines that the stock release condition is met. .

When the stock release condition is satisfied, the release determination means 237 outputs an instruction to execute the stock release process. At that time, the release determination means 237 determines which stock medium to release among the stock media in stock, for example, by the FIFO method, and also outputs the content thereof.

Note that in this embodiment, the number of executions of the normal gacha for release is not used as a parameter in determining whether the stock release condition is satisfied. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the "number of executions of normal gacha for release" in the user DB 221 of FIG. 3 is unnecessary.

<Flow of Operation of Game System 1>
The “flow of processing for stocking game media” is the same as in the first embodiment. The “flow of processing for releasing stock media” will be described below with reference to FIG. 13 .

- Flow of processing for releasing stock media -
As a premise, it is assumed that one of the modes in the table of FIG. 12 is randomly set in advance as the current mode. On the game device 5 side, a screen sc6 including information inf1 corresponding to the set mode is displayed on the display 61. FIG.

It is assumed that the normal lottery means 233 of the server device 2 executes the normal lottery process based on the normal gacha lottery request in step St1 (step st2). The release determination means 237 determines the mode of the current stay from the user DB 221, and extracts the release probability corresponding to the mode from the table of FIG. 12(a) (step St31).

The release determination unit 237 performs a stock medium release lottery based on the release probability extracted in step St31 (step St32). When the release of the stock medium is won (Yes in step St33), the release determination means 237 determines that the stock release condition is satisfied. If there is a stock medium in stock (Yes in step St34), the server device 2 transmits an instruction to display the screen sc3 of FIG. 8 to the game device 5 (step St35). As a result, the screen sc3 is displayed on the display 61 of the game device 5. FIG.

Also, even if the release is not won (No in step St33), the user performs an operation to release the stock medium on the screen sc4 on the game device 5 side, and the server apparatus 2 requests the release of the stock medium. is received (Yes in step St36), the release determining means 237 determines that the stock release condition is satisfied.

After steps St35 and St36, the release number determination means 238 determines the release number of stock media notified to the user and usable in the game by lottery using the table of FIG. 7 or the like (step St37). The release determining means 237 extracts the determined number of stock media to be released in the order in which they are stocked, thereby determining the stock media to be released (step St38).

The information processing means 231 transmits an instruction to execute the stock release process, the contents of the stock medium to be released, and the number of releases to the corresponding game device 5 (step St39).

On the other hand, in the server device 2, the stock media to be released are rewritten from the "stock media in stock" in the user DB 221 to the "owned game media", and the "number of stock media" is changed to the number of releases. A process of subtracting only is performed.

As a result, the notification control means 563 of the game device 5 displays the screen sc5 of FIG. . The user can grasp the contents of the stock media.

Furthermore, since the stock release process has been performed, the release determination means 237 performs a mode transition lottery based on the table of FIG. 12(b) (step St40). As a result of the mode transition lottery, the user DB 221 is overwritten with the selected mode. As a result, the release probability for the next release is changed depending on the case.

In step St33, although the stock medium has been won, if there is no stock medium in stock (No in step St34), the benefit giving unit 236 gives the specific game medium to the user (step St41). The information processing means 231 transmits to the game device 5 the fact that the stock has run out and the information (contents) regarding the specific game content (step St42). As a result, the screen sc7 is displayed on the display 61 of the game device 5. FIG.

Although not shown in FIG. 13, in step St34, if there is no stock medium in stock (No in step St34), the stock means 235 performs forced stock processing similar to steps St4 and St5 in FIG. The notification control means 563 performs stock release processing. In this forced stock process, game media are selected as out-of-stock media and associated with the user's identification information. In the stock release process, the notification control means 563 notifies the user of the out-of-stock medium, and transitions to a usable state in the game.

<Effect of invention>
In addition to the effects of the first embodiment, the present embodiment has the following effects.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12(a), a plurality of modes with different stock medium release probabilities are set. The release determination means 237 performs a lottery for transition to the staying mode (first mode) at a predetermined timing, and performs a stock medium release lottery with a release probability according to the staying mode (first mode). The release determination means 237 determines that the stock release condition is met when it is determined by the release lottery that the stock medium is to be released. As a result, the stock medium release process becomes more complicated, and the game becomes more interesting.

[Third Embodiment]
In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which stock release conditions are different from those in the first embodiment and the second embodiment.

Since the conditions other than the stock release condition are the same as those in the first embodiment, only the stock release condition whose establishment is determined by the release determination means 237 will be described below.

-About stock release conditions-
FIG. 14 is a table used in place of FIG. 5 for determining whether the stock release condition is satisfied in this embodiment. Also in this embodiment, a plurality of modes A to C are set in which the "ease of release" of the stock medium is defined in a plurality of stages. Modes A to C correspond to the second mode. As shown in FIG. 14(a), the stock medium release probability for the normal gacha execution count and the upper limit of the execution count when the release probability is 100% differ for each mode.

For example, if the number of executions of normal gacha for release in the user DB 221 is 0 to 10, the release probability in mode A and mode B is 1% (1/100), respectively, but the release probability in mode C is 1% (1/100). is 20% (1/5). In other words, if the number of times the normal gacha is executed is within the range of 0 to 10 times, the "mode C" is more likely than the "mode A" or "mode B" during the current stay. Stock media are easy to release.

When the normal gacha for release is executed 31 to 40 times, the release probability in mode A is 1% (1/100), the release probability in mode B is 50% (1/2), and the release probability in mode C is 100%. If the number of normal gacha executions is within the range of 31 to 40 times, if the mode you are currently staying in is "mode A", the stock medium will be the least likely to be released, and if it is "mode C", it will be forced (certainly). The stock medium is released to

In other words, in FIG. 14(a), the distribution of the stock medium release probability with respect to the number of times the normal gacha is executed differs depending on modes A to C. FIG. Since the ejection probability of "100%" means that the stock medium is forcibly ejected, the upper limit of the number of times of execution (that is, the specified number of times) can also be said to differ according to modes A to C. .

FIG. 14(b) shows transition probabilities of modes A to C, like FIG. 12(b). For example, if the current mode is "mode A", the probability of staying in mode A is 50%, and the probability of switching to mode B is 40%. The probability of transitioning to mode C is 10%. If the current mode is "mode B", it will not switch to mode A, but will switch to mode B with a probability of 60% and to mode C with a probability of 40%.

The release determination means 237 performs a lottery for switching modes A to C at a predetermined timing using FIG. 14(b). Predetermined timings include timing when normal gacha is played, timing when stock media are released, timing when special game media are won in normal gacha, timing when special game media are used, for example, when the same game media are played consecutively. For example, a game content won in a regular gacha satisfies a predetermined condition, such as when a player wins three times.

In the operation flow of this embodiment, which will be described later, the predetermined timing is the timing when the stock medium is discharged.

Then, each time the normal gacha is executed (normal lottery processing is performed), the release determination means 237 uses FIG. Stock media release lottery will be held at the release probability. As a result of the release lottery, when the stock medium release is won, the release determination means 237 determines that the stock release condition is met.

In other words, in this embodiment, unlike the above (i) and (ii) in the first embodiment, the release probability and the specified number of times during the stock medium release lottery are not constant, and can change depending on the mode during stay. be.

Further, similarly to the above (iii) of the first embodiment, even when the information processing means 231 receives a stock medium release request from the game device 5, the release determination means 237 determines that the stock release condition is met. .

When the stock release condition is satisfied, the release determination means 237 outputs an instruction to execute the stock release process. At that time, the release determination means 237 determines which stock medium to release among the stock media in stock, for example, by the FIFO method, and also outputs the content thereof.

<Flow of Operation of Game System 1>
The “flow of processing for stocking game media” is the same as in the first embodiment. The “flow of processing for releasing stock media” will be described below with reference to FIG. 15 .

- Flow of processing for releasing stock media -
As a premise, it is assumed that one of the modes in the table of FIG. 14 is randomly set in advance as the current mode. On the game device 5 side, a screen sc6 including information inf1 corresponding to the set mode is displayed on the display 61. FIG.

It is assumed that the normal lottery means 233 of the server device 2 executes the normal lottery process based on the normal gacha lottery request in step St1 (step st2). The release determination means 237 determines the mode in which the user is currently staying from the user DB 221, and determines the specified number of times corresponding to the mode and the release probability in the mode corresponding to the number of times the normal gacha for release is executed, as shown in FIG. 14 ( It extracts from the table of a) (step St51).

When the number of times of execution reaches the specified number (Yes in step St52) and there is a stock medium in stock (Yes in step St53), the discharge determination means 237 determines that the stock discharge condition is met. This determination result is transmitted to the game device 5 of the user whose number of times of execution has reached the specified number of times (step St54). As a result, the screen sc3 of FIG. 8 is displayed on the display 61 of the game device 5. FIG.

When the number of times of execution has not reached the specified number of times (No in step St52), the release determination means 237 performs a stock medium release lottery with the release probability extracted in step St51 (step St55). When the release of the stock medium is won (Yes in step St56), the release determination means 237 determines that the stock release condition is met. Thereafter, the processes of steps St53 and St54 are performed.

On the game device 5 side, when the user intentionally performs an operation to release the stock media on the screen sc4, and the server device 2 receives the request to release the stock media (Yes in step St57), the release determination means 237 , it is determined that the stock release condition is satisfied.

After steps St54 and St57, the release number determining means 238 determines the release number of stock media notified to the user and usable in the game by lottery using the table of FIG. 7 (step St58). The release determining means 237 extracts the determined number of stock media to be released in the order in which they are stocked, thereby determining the stock media to be released (step St59).

The information processing means 231 transmits, to the corresponding game device 5, an instruction to execute the stock release process, the contents of the stock medium to be released, and the number of released stock media (step St60).

On the other hand, in the server device 2, the stock media to be released are rewritten from the "stock media in stock" in the user DB 221 to the "owned game media", and the "number of stock media" is changed to the number of releases. A process of subtracting only, and a process of resetting the “execution count of normal gacha for release” are performed.

As a result, the notification control means 563 of the game device 5 displays the screen sc5 of FIG. . The user can grasp the contents of the stock media.

Furthermore, since the stock release process has been performed, the release determination means 237 performs a mode transition lottery based on the table of FIG. 14(b) (step St61). The winning mode is overwritten in the user DB 221. - 特許庁As a result, the distribution of emission probabilities for the next emission and the specified number of times may be changed in some cases.

In step St53, although the stock release condition is satisfied, if there is no stock medium in stock (No in step St53), the benefit giving unit 236 gives the specific game medium to the user (step St62). The information processing means 231 transmits to the game apparatus 5 the fact that the stock has run out and the information (contents) regarding the specific game content (step St63). As a result, the screen sc7 is displayed on the display 61 of the game device 5. FIG.

Although not shown in FIG. 13, in step St34, if there is no stock medium in stock (No in step St34), the stock means 235 performs forced stock processing similar to steps St4 and St5 in FIG. The notification control means 563 performs stock release processing. In this forced stock process, game media are selected as out-of-stock media and associated with the user's identification information. In the stock release process, the notification control means 563 notifies the user of the out-of-stock medium, and transitions to a usable state in the game.

<Effect of invention>
In addition to the effects of the first embodiment, the present embodiment has the following effects.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14(a), there are a plurality of modes in which the stock medium release probability for the normal gacha execution count and the upper limit of the execution count when the release probability is 100% differ from each other. (second mode) is set. The release determining means 237 performs a mode transition lottery at a predetermined timing, and performs a stock medium release lottery with a release probability according to the mode during stay and the number of times of execution. The release determination means 237 determines that the stock release condition is met when it is determined by the release lottery that the stock medium is to be released. As a result, the stock medium release process becomes more complicated, and the game becomes more interesting.

[Other embodiments]
The various control means and processing procedures described in the first to third embodiments are examples, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, its applications, or its uses. Various control means and processing procedures can be appropriately modified in design without changing the gist of the present invention.

The game may be of a type that uses game media, and the type is not limited.

In the first to third embodiments, the normal gacha (normal lottery process) is assumed, but the normal gacha (normal lottery process) is not essential.

In the first to third embodiments, it has been explained that the stock lottery process has a higher probability of selecting a game medium with a high rarity value by lottery than the normal lottery process. Not required. The probability that a game medium with a high rarity value is selected by lottery may be higher in the case of the normal lottery process than in the case of the stock lottery process. Further, the probability that a game medium with a high rarity value is selected by lottery may be the same in the case of the normal lottery process and the case of the stock lottery process.

Also, FIG. 4 illustrates a case where the probability of selecting some game media in the normal lottery process is 100%, and the probability of stocking some game media in the stock lottery process is 20%. However, the probability that game media are determined to be stocked in the stock lottery process may be the same as the probability that game media are selected in the normal lottery process. Further, the probability that game media are determined to be stocked in the stock lottery process may be higher than the probability that game media are selected in the normal lottery process.

In addition, in the first to third embodiments, the lottery list 222b used in the stock lottery process contains more game media with higher rarity values than the lottery list 222a used in the normal lottery process. I explained if there is. However, the difference in content rate of game media with high rarity value is not limited to the above. For example, the lottery list 222a and the lottery list 222b may have the same content rate of game media with high rarity value, or the lottery list 222a may have a higher content rate of game media with a higher rarity value than the lottery list 222b. may be higher.

In the first to third embodiments, the above (a) to (c) have been described as patterns in which stock media are stocked. However, the pattern may be one of the above (a) to (c), or may be a combination of any two of the above (a) to (c). Also, the pattern may include the following (d) instead of the above (a) and (b).
(d) When the normal gacha for stock has been executed a predetermined number of times, stock lottery processing is performed by the stock lottery means 234, and as a result there is a stock medium that has been won.

The notification control means 563 notifies the user via the display 61 and the speaker 62 of information suggesting at least one of the stock of game media and the number of stock media, as shown in the screen sc8 of FIG. may The screen sc8 is an example of a screen displayed on the display 61 during execution of the game, and includes information inf3 indicating that some game media have been stocked and information inf4 indicating the number of stock media. This makes the user more impatient for the release of stock media.

It should be noted that the method of notifying each of the information inf3 and inf4 is not limited to that shown in FIG. Either one of the pieces of information inf3 and inf4 may be included in the screen sc8, or the user may be informed of the information only by sound or by a combination of sound and display. Further, each of the information inf3 and inf4 may be notified to the user by vibration of the game device 5, a combination of vibration and sound, or a combination of vibration, sound and display.

On the screen sc8, the information inf1' indicating the degree of expectation of fulfillment of the stock release condition is displayed in a manner (phases of the object "moon") different from that on the screen sc6 of FIG. In the screen sc8, the closer the moon object inf1' is to the full moon, the higher the expectation that the stock release condition will be met. Conversely, the closer the moon object is to the new moon, the lower the expectation that the stock release condition will be met. In this way, the information inf1 suggesting the degree of expectation for the fulfillment of the stock release condition (mode during stay) is not limited to the screens sc6 and sc8, and can be expressed in any manner or form (color, figure, etc.). good.

The information inf1' indicating the degree of expectation of fulfillment of the stock release condition (mode during stay) may not be provided.

In the first to third embodiments, it has been explained that when the stock medium does not exist when the stock release condition is satisfied, the screen sc7 including the information inf2 to that effect is displayed on the display 61 of the game device 5. However, the effect and mode of informing the user of the information inf2 are not limited to the screen sc7, and any mode and effect may be used. Also, it is not essential to notify the user of the information inf2.

In the first to third embodiments, it has been explained that when the stock release condition is met in the absence of stock media, a specific game medium "gacha ticket" is given to the user, but this is not essential. do not have.

Further, when the specific game medium is provided, it may be immediately after the stock medium disappears due to the stock release process.

In the first embodiment, the case where the stock release condition is a combination of the above three (i) to (iii) has been described. However, the stock release condition may be any one of the above (i) to (iii), or may be a combination of any two.

In the second and third embodiments, the above (iii) was always included in the stock release conditions, but the above (iii) may not be included. Therefore, the stock medium release lottery may be performed with a predetermined release probability only each time the normal gacha is executed. Alternatively, the stock medium may be released only when the number of executions of the normal gacha for release reaches a specified number of times.

In the first and third embodiments, each time the stock release process is performed, the specified number of times is reset. However, the specified number of times may be a fixed value, or even if the specified number of times is a variable value, it may not be set.

The following (iv) to (ix) may be newly added to the stock release conditions.
(iv) When a specific game media is won in regular gacha.
(v) In normal gacha, when a predetermined number of game media with a relatively high rarity value (a predetermined value or more) are consecutively won (for example, 10 runs).
(vi) In normal gacha, when a predetermined number of game media having the same attribute are consecutively won (for example, three times).
(vii) When a predetermined game medium (a game medium with a high rarity value) is won in a regular gacha under a specific mode in which a game medium with a relatively high rarity value (a predetermined value or more) is likely to be won.
(viii) When the same game content is won a predetermined number of times in a row, regardless of whether only the regular gacha, only the stock gacha, or regardless of the regular gacha and the stock gacha.
(ix) When normal gacha is played a predetermined number of times in succession, the winning results include a predetermined number (multiple) of the same game media.

In relation to the above (iv) to (ix), the release determination means 237 determines whether the stock release condition or the stock release condition is established according to one or more game media won in the normal gacha (normal lottery process). You can change your expectations.

For example, the release judging means 237 shifts to a mode in which stock media are more likely to be released, decreases the current prescribed number of times, or increases the number of normal gacha executions to bring the release condition closer. good. In addition, the discharge determination means 237 gives preferential treatment to mode selection so that the mode when the stock medium is discharged next time is a mode in which the stock medium is more likely to be discharged than the current mode, or a table (FIGS. 5 and 5) used at the time of mode selection. 6, FIGS. 12 and 14) may be rewritten as appropriate. This makes the game more interesting.

Also, the upper limit of the number of stock media that can be stocked may be finite. When the stock number reaches the upper limit, the release determination means 237 may determine that the stock release condition is satisfied, and the notification control means 563 may forcibly perform stock release processing.

In the first to third embodiments, the emission number determining means 238 is not essential. The number of stock media releases may not be changed and may always be a fixed number (eg, one).

Also, the release number determination means 238 may determine the release number by a method other than lottery. The release number determination means 238 determines the number of stock media to be released to the user so that the number of stock media to be released in the next stock release process will be greater than the number of stock media released in the previous stock release process. A number of media can be determined. For example, by determining "1" for the first release and "2" for the second release, the number of stock media that can be acquired by the user with one release gradually increases. sexuality increases.

When the stock media are released, the order in which the stock media are released does not have to be the FIFO method. For example, stock media to be released may be determined by a lottery or by a LIFO (Last in first out) method.

In the first to third embodiments, when stocking stock media, stock media and lottery lists are divided according to the “type of lottery process (gacha)” such as pickup gacha and permanent gacha. Patterns (conditions) for stocking may be different. Also, the stock release condition may differ according to the "type of lottery process (gacha)".

In the first to third embodiments, the stock media may be erased without being ejected under conditions other than ejection. In this case, the stock medium to be deleted is deleted from the user DB 221 . Various conditions include when the current time reaches a predetermined time, when a predetermined time has passed, when an event such as a pick-up gacha has ended, and the like.

Also, the game may start with several stock media already stocked.

It has been explained that in the stock lottery process of the first to third embodiments, it is determined whether stock media are to be stocked and, if stocked, which game media are to be stocked. However, the stock lottery process only determines whether or not to stock stock media, and the lottery process for determining which game media to stock may be performed on a separate occasion from the stock lottery process. good. Other opportunities include when stock release conditions are satisfied, when the user clears some quest, and the like.

Also, the contents of the stock medium in stock may be rewritten in the middle if a predetermined condition is satisfied. In this case, the predetermined conditions include conditions equivalent to the stock release conditions (iv) to (ix) described above.

In the first to third embodiments, as an example of stock release based on the user's intention, when the "release" button b1 is selected via the screen sc4 in FIG. 8, the stock release condition (iii) was explained to be satisfied. However, the "release" button b1 may be provided on a normal game execution screen such as the screen sc6 in the same manner as the normal gacha execution button. The stock release condition (iii) may be satisfied by the user selecting the button b1.

Also, when the stock medium is released due to the fulfillment of the stock release condition of (iii) above, if a mode transition lottery is held, the mode transition probability will be different in other cases. good too. For example, when the stock medium is released based on the user's will (when the stock condition of (iii) is met), the mode transition lottery is held when the stock release condition of (i), (ii), (iv) to (ix) is met. Mode selection may be favored over what is done.

In the first to third embodiments, the case where the initial mode is set randomly has been described. However, the initial mode may be fixed, or may be determined by lottery at the start of the first normal gacha or gacha event (pickup gacha, etc.).

When the stock has run out based on the fulfillment of the stock release condition (iii) (that is, when the stock medium has been exhausted due to the stock release based on the user's intention), the benefit granting means 236 provides the benefit to the user. It is also possible not to provide game media.

In addition, immediately after the stock medium is released, or until the normal lottery process by the normal gacha is performed a predetermined number of times after the stock medium is released, the notification control means 563 prohibits the execution of the stock release process based on the user's intention. may In this case, the notification control means 563 can prohibit the user from selecting the "Release" button b1 until the normal lottery process is performed a predetermined number of times after the stock medium is released.

In the first to third embodiments, the processing of stocking and releasing stock media for one user has been exemplified. However, the process of stocking and releasing stock media can also be applied when there are multiple users and the multiple users belong to one or more groups (guilds).

In this case, the game executing means 562 executes the game according to the operations of each of the users belonging to the group (guild). The stock lottery means 234 performs a stock lottery process for determining whether or not to stock one or more game media as stock media out of a plurality of game media related to the game. When there is a winning stock medium, stock means 235 associates the winning stock medium with the identification information of the group (guild) in a state in which it cannot be used in the game. When the stock release condition is satisfied, the notification control means 563 notifies at least one of the plurality of users of the contents of at least one of the stock media in stock via the notification unit, and also allows the stock media to be notified to the game. stock release processing to transition to a usable state.

Here, the results of each user's individual progress in the game can affect the progress of the game not only for that user but also for other users. For example, the progress of a game by one of the users belonging to a group (guild) can affect the progress of the game of multiple users belonging to the same group (guild). Conversely, as a result of multiple users belonging to a group (guild) cooperating to advance the game, even if they did not participate in the advanced game, one of the users belonging to the same group (guild) It can also affect the progress of the game.

Then, the stock medium is stocked in a state that it is temporarily assigned to a group (guild) rather than to individual users. When the stock release condition is satisfied for one of a plurality of users, the stock medium may be released to that user, or the stock medium may be released to some or all of the users belonging to the group (guild). may be

In this case, examples of patterns (conditions) in which stock media are stocked include the following.
(e) When there is a winning game medium as a result of performing stock lottery processing at the time of participating in a quest on a group (guild) basis.
(f) Participating in a quest on a group (guild) basis and satisfying a predetermined condition within the quest.

In (f) above, "when a predetermined condition is met in a quest", for example, when a special event occurs in a quest, such as when a treasure chest is sucked into a black hole. There are cases. Participation in the quests in (e) and (f) above can be performed individually by users belonging to a group (guild), or can be performed by a plurality of users together.

Also, the stock release conditions for the stock medium assigned to the group (guild) include, for example, the following.
(x) if you clear the quest.
(xi) When the number of times the quest has been cleared reaches a predetermined number of times.
(xii) When the cumulative number of times a user belonging to a group (guild) has drawn a regular gacha reaches a specified number of times.

According to the above, for example, users belonging to a group (guild) individually perform quests to stock stock media in the group (guild), and all users can participate in the normal gacha to meet the stock release condition. By pulling , you can play cooperatively. In addition, by doing a quest with all the users belonging to the group (guild), the stock medium is stocked in the group (guild), and by each user pulling the normal gacha, who quickly fulfills the stock release condition. You can also compete with each other to see who will let you.

As a result, the users belonging to the group (guild) enjoy the game while having a common understanding within the group of the expectation that the game media may be stocked and the expectation of stock release processing. be able to.

Even when these other embodiments are employed, the effects of the present invention are exhibited. Further, it is also possible to appropriately combine this embodiment with other embodiments, and other embodiments with each other.
