Various embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. However, it should be noted that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to those embodiments, but extends to the invention described in the claims and equivalents thereof.

1. Overview of the Present Embodiment In the game system of the present embodiment, a player uses a portable terminal to play a game provided by a server. In the game system of this embodiment, the server provides web games. Note that the game system of the present embodiment is not limited to web games. For example, a portable terminal owned by a player may store an application and various data for executing a game, and directly communicate with another portable terminal to execute the game. A game system that provides a web game will be described below as an example.

In a web game, a mobile terminal displays various game screens based on information (documents written in a markup language, programs written in a script language, etc.) received from a server via a browser. The server also updates game data and transmits information to the mobile terminal based on information sent from the mobile terminal via the browser.

The game executed by the server includes a lottery game in which a lottery for selecting game media from among a plurality of game media is performed according to a player's lottery instruction, and the game media selected by the lottery are awarded to the player. Game media are electronic data used in games, and include, for example, cards, items, characters, avatars, and the like. Game media are electronic data that can be acquired, possessed, used, managed, exchanged, combined, enhanced, sold, discarded, and/or gifted by players in the game as the game progresses, but the manner in which the game media are used is not limited to those specified in this specification. The lottery is a process in which a game content is selected by a predetermined selection method from a plurality of game media to be selected that are associated with the player. Also, the lottery is executed one or more times, for example, the virtual currency possessed by the player who instructs the lottery in the game is consumed, and the lottery is executed the number of times set according to the consumed virtual currency. The predetermined selection method is, for example, a method of selecting a game medium from a plurality of game media based on a predetermined lottery probability associated with the game media, or a method of selecting a game medium from a plurality of game media in accordance with an order predetermined for each game medium. For example, when game media are randomly selected from a plurality of game media with equal probabilities, the same lottery probability is associated with each of the plurality of game media. Further, giving is an example of a process in which a game content selected by lottery is stored as an object to be possessed by the player. In this embodiment, a lottery game in which a character card is selected from among a plurality of character cards preliminarily associated with a player based on the lottery probability associated with each character card and awarded to the selected player will be described as an example of the game medium selection method.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of a lottery game provided by a server. The lottery game provided by the server of this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG.

When receiving a lottery game execution request from a player, the server stores reception information indicating the reception time and the number of times of reception in association with the player who made the lottery game execution request. The acceptance time is, for example, the time when the server accepts a lottery game execution request, and the number of acceptances is the number of lottery game execution requests received from the player up to this time. Next, the server refers to the number of lotteries and determines whether or not a lottery game execution request has been received from the player in the past. When the server determines that no lottery game execution request has been received from the player in the past (A), the server executes the normal lottery game as the first lottery game (B). The lottery game execution request is an example of a game content selection request. In a normal lottery game, the server sets the lottery number to be an initial value (for example, 5), and draws the set number of character cards out of a plurality of character cards associated with the player. Then, the server provides the player with the number of character cards drawn by lottery. The lottery number is an example of the number of selections.

Next, when the server receives a lottery game execution request from the player again, the server stores reception information indicating the reception time and the number of receptions in association with the player who made the lottery game execution request. Next, the server refers to the number of lotteries and determines whether or not a lottery game execution request has been received from the player in the past. When the server determines that it has received a lottery game execution request from a player in the past (C), it executes a special lottery game as the second lottery game (D). First, the server calculates the time difference between the time when the second (current) lottery game execution request is received and the time when the first lottery game execution request is received (E). Next, if the calculated difference time (E) is within the special lottery game time (F), the server sets the lottery number to the set value. The set value is an integer value determined based on the number of lotteries and/or differential time. Then, in the special lottery game, the server draws a set lottery number of character cards from a plurality of character cards associated with the player. Then, the server provides the player with the number of character cards drawn by lottery. The first lottery game execution request received from the player and the second lottery game execution request received from the player are an example of a selection request received in the past and a selection request received this time. Also, the special lottery game time (F) is an example of a predetermined time. The starting point of the difference time is the time when the previous lottery game execution request is accepted, but it may be any time as long as it is related to the previous lottery game execution request, such as the time when character cards are given to the player by the previous lottery game execution request, or the time when the lottery number of character cards are drawn by the previous lottery game execution request.

The special lottery game is a lottery game in which the lottery number of character cards set larger than the lottery number (set value) of the lottery game executed last time is drawn from a plurality of character cards associated with the player. The special lottery game time (F) is, for example, 60 minutes from the time when the previous lottery game execution request is received, and the special lottery game is executed only when the lottery game execution request is received within the special lottery game time (F).

When the difference time exceeds the special lottery game time (F), the server resets the lottery number to the initial value regardless of the number of receptions, and executes the normal lottery game as the lottery game for the received lottery game execution request (D'). Regarding (F) above, when the server receives a request to execute the lottery game again from the player, it is determined whether or not the differential time is within the special lottery game time, but this is not the only option. That is, the server successively determines whether or not the difference time is within the special lottery game time, and resets the lottery number to the initial value when it is determined that the difference time exceeds the special lottery game time. In this way, the server may determine whether or not the differential time has exceeded the special lottery game time before accepting the lottery game execution request from the player. In this case, the server may notify the player of the remaining time until the differential time exceeds the special lottery game.

Further, after the special lottery game is executed as the second lottery game (D), the server receives the third lottery game execution request from the player (G), and executes the third lottery game (H). First, when a lottery game execution request is received from a player, reception information indicating the reception time and the number of times of reception is stored in association with the player who made the lottery game execution request. Next, the server refers to the number of lotteries and determines whether or not a lottery game execution request has been received from the player in the past. When the server determines that the lottery game execution request has been received from the player in the past, the server calculates the difference time between the time when the third (current) lottery game execution request is received and the time when the second lottery game execution request is received (I). Next, when the calculated difference time is within the special lottery game time (F), the server sets the number of lotteries to the set value by setting the number of lotteries larger than the number of lotteries for the second time based on the number of times of lottery and the difference time. Then, in the special lottery game as the third lottery game, the server draws a set lottery number of character cards from the plurality of character cards associated with the player (H). In this way, the number of character cards awarded to the player is accumulated based on the number of receptions of lottery game execution requests within the special lottery game time (F) and the differential time. When the differential time exceeds the special lottery game time (F), the server resets the lottery game to be executed to the normal lottery game (resets the lottery number to the initial value) regardless of the number of receptions, and executes the normal lottery game as the lottery game for the received lottery game execution request.

In this way, if the player requests execution of the lottery game so that the differential time is within the special lottery game time, the special lottery game can be executed in which the number of character cards to be lottered increases, and the player's motivation to play the game again can be enhanced. Also, in the lottery game, the number of character cards that the player can acquire increases based on the time at which the lottery game execution request is accepted, so that the player's desire to continue playing the game can be enhanced.

In the lottery number table, candidate values for the lottery number are associated and stored for each lottery of the special lottery game. The number of lottery times is an example of the number of times the lottery game is executed, and the candidate value is an example of a predetermined value.

2.2.1. Configuration of Server Processing Unit 33 The server processing unit 33 includes a progress control unit 331 , a main game execution unit 332 , a lottery game determination unit 333 , a setting unit 334 , a lottery unit 335 and a display data creation unit 336 . Each of these units is a functional module implemented by a program executed by a processor included in the server processing unit 33 . Alternatively, each of these units may be implemented in the server 3 as firmware. Note that the lottery unit 335 is an example of a selection unit.

The progress control unit 331 controls the start and progress of the game, and appropriately instructs the main game execution unit 332, the lottery game determination unit 333, the setting unit 334, the lottery unit 335, and the display data generation unit 336 to execute processing. The progress control unit 331 exchanges necessary data with the mobile terminal 2 via the server communication unit 31 .

4(a) to (c) and FIGS. 5(a) to (b) are received from the mobile terminal 2, the progress control unit 331 instructs each unit to create display data for displaying buttons for receiving instructions from the player, character information to be notified to the player, images, etc. in a layout according to the screen, and transmits the data to the mobile terminal 2. When any button is pressed on the screen displayed on the mobile terminal 2 and a request for the next screen corresponding to the button is received from the mobile terminal 2, the progress control section 331 similarly instructs each section to create display data for the next screen, and transmits the data to the mobile terminal 2.

In particular, the progress control unit 331 instructs the display data creation unit 336 to create display data for displaying the home screen 400 when the player performs an operation to start the game using the mobile terminal 2 or an operation to transition to the home screen and receives a corresponding home screen request from the mobile terminal 2. The progress control unit 331 then transmits the display data created by the display data creation unit 336 to the mobile terminal 2 .

Further, when the main game button 401 on the home screen 400 displayed on the portable terminal 2 is pressed and the corresponding main game request is received from the portable terminal 2, the progress control unit 331 instructs the main game executing unit 332 to execute the main game. Then, the progress control section 331 transmits display data for displaying a screen for executing the main game, created by the main game execution section 332 , to the portable terminal 2 .

Further, when the lottery game button 402 on the home screen 400 displayed on the mobile terminal 2 is pressed and the corresponding lottery game start request is received from the mobile terminal 2, the progress control part 331 instructs the lottery game determination part 333 to determine the lottery game to be executed. Note that the progress control unit 331 is an example of a reception unit. Then, the progress control part 331 transmits display data for displaying the special lottery game screen 410 or the normal lottery game screen 420 for executing the special lottery game or the normal lottery game determined by the lottery game determination part 333 to the portable terminal 2.例文帳に追加Display data for displaying the special lottery game screen 410 or the normal lottery game screen 420 is created by the display data creation unit 336 .

Further, when the lottery button 412 on the special lottery game screen 410 displayed on the mobile terminal 2 or the re-lottery button 504 on the special lottery result screen 500 is pressed and the corresponding lottery game execution request is received from the mobile terminal 2, the progress control part 331 instructs the setting part 334 to set the lottery number. Then, the progress control part 331 transmits to the portable terminal 2 display data for displaying a special lottery result screen 500 or a normal lottery result screen 510 including the result of executing the lottery process of the lottery number set by the setting part 334. - 特許庁Display data for displaying the special lottery result screen 500 or the normal lottery result screen 510 is created by the display data creation unit 336 .

Further, when the lottery button 422 on the normal lottery game screen 420 displayed on the mobile terminal 2 or the re-lottery button 513 on the normal lottery result screen 510 is pressed and the corresponding lottery game execution request is received from the mobile terminal 2, the progress control part 331 instructs the setting part 334 to set the lottery number. Then, the progress control part 331 transmits to the portable terminal 2 display data for displaying a normal lottery result screen 510 including the result of lottery processing of the lottery number of the normal lottery game set by the setting part 334. - 特許庁

When the progress control unit 331 instructs the main game execution, the main game execution unit 332 creates display data for displaying a screen for executing the main game, and passes the created display data to the progress control unit 331 . After that, the main game is executed according to the player's operation on the screen for executing the main game displayed on the mobile terminal 2 . The main game executing section 332 executes a battle or the like in the main game using cards or the like related to the used card information stored in the player table. In addition, the main game executing section 332 updates the game points and player level in the player table according to the result, gives game points to the player, and raises the player level.

A lottery game determination part 333, when instructed to determine a lottery game by a progress control part 331, refers to a player table, and based on a player ID included in a lottery game start request, acquires reception information indicating the number of receptions of a lottery game execution request received within a special lottery game time, stored in association with the player. Next, when the number of receptions indicated by the acquired reception information is 0, the lottery game determination unit 333 determines the special lottery game as the lottery game to be executed. The lottery game determination unit 333 then instructs the display data creation unit 336 to create display data for displaying the special lottery game screen 410 .

In addition, when the number of receptions exceeds the executable number (five times) (larger than the executable number), the lottery game determination part 333 determines the lottery game to be executed as the normal lottery game regardless of the difference time. The lottery game determination unit 333 then instructs the display data creation unit 336 to create display data for displaying the normal lottery game screen 420 .

In addition, when the number of times of reception is more than 0 times and the number of executable times or less, the lottery game determination part 333 refers to the reset history of the player table and determines whether or not the lottery game executed during the event period has been reset to the normal lottery game. Next, when determining that the lottery game to be executed has been reset to the normal lottery game, the lottery game determination unit 333 determines the lottery game to be the normal lottery game. The lottery game determination unit 333 then instructs the display data creation unit 336 to create display data for displaying the normal lottery game screen 420 . Note that the lottery game determination unit 333 may determine the lottery game to be executed as the normal lottery game when determining that the number of times the lottery game to be executed has been reset to the normal lottery game exceeds a predetermined number of times. In this case, the lottery game determination unit 333 stores the number of times the lottery game has been reset to the normal lottery game in the reset history of the player table. Thus, the special lottery game can be executed again even if the lottery game to be executed is reset to the normal lottery game until the number of times of resetting exceeds the predetermined number of times, and various game medium selection methods can be provided.

When the lottery game determination part 333 determines that the lottery game to be executed has not been reset to the normal lottery game, the lottery game determination part 333 refers to the player table and acquires the previous acceptance time when the player received the lottery game execution request of the special lottery game executed last time. Next, the lottery game determination unit 333 determines whether or not the difference time between the current time when the lottery game start request is received and the previous reception time is within the special lottery game time. Note that when the timer function is used, the current time is the elapsed time from the previous reception time (0 minutes), which is the same as the difference time. Next, the lottery game determination unit 333 determines the lottery game to be executed as the special lottery game when the differential time is within the special lottery game time. The lottery game determination unit 333 then instructs the display data creation unit 336 to create display data for displaying the special lottery game screen 410 .

Further, when the differential time exceeds the special lottery game time, the lottery game determining unit 333 determines (resets) the normal lottery game as the lottery game to be executed. Next, the lottery game determination part 333 changes and stores the reset history to the normal lottery game associated with the player in the player table, and deletes the end time of the previous acceptance time and the special lottery game time. The lottery game determination unit 333 then instructs the display data creation unit 336 to create display data for displaying the normal lottery game screen 420 .

A setting unit 334 determines whether or not to execute a special lottery game based on the lottery game type included in the lottery game execution request or the lottery game type determined by the lottery game determining unit 333 when instructed to set the lottery number from the progress control unit 331. - 特許庁Next, when the lottery game type indicates the normal lottery game, the setting unit 334 determines not to execute the special lottery game, and sets the lottery number to the initial value of five. Then, the setting unit 334 instructs the lottery unit 335 to execute lottery processing for the set lottery number.

Next, when the lottery game type indicates a special lottery game, the setting part 334 determines to execute the special lottery game, refers to the player table, and acquires reception information indicating the number of receptions stored in association with the player based on the player ID. Next, when the number of receptions indicated by the acquired reception information is 0, the setting unit 334 sets the lottery number to the initial value of five. Then, the setting unit 334 instructs the lottery unit 335 to execute lottery processing for the set lottery number. Then, the setting unit 334 refers to the player table and stores the number of times (1 time) obtained by adding 1 to the number of times of reception (0 times) as the number of times of reception indicated by the reception information. The setting part 334 stores the time when the progress control part 331 accepts (receives) the lottery game execution request as the previous reception time, and stores the time obtained by adding the special lottery game time (for example, 60 minutes) to the previous reception time as the end time of the special lottery game time.

Further, when the number of receptions is more than 0 times and equal to or less than the executable number, the setting part 334 determines whether or not the difference between the current time when the lottery game execution request is received and the previous reception time is within the special lottery game time. Next, when determining that the difference time is within the special lottery game time, the setting unit 334 sets the lottery number to the lottery number in the special lottery game. That is, the setting part 334 sets the lottery times of the special lottery game to the number of reception times plus one, refers to the lottery number table, determines the candidate value corresponding to the set lottery number as the set value, sets the lottery number to the determined set value, and instructs the lottery part 335 to execute lottery processing for the set lottery number. Then, the setting unit 334 refers to the player table and stores the number of receptions plus one as the number of receptions indicated by the reception information. The setting part 334 stores the time when the progress control part 331 accepts (receives) the lottery game execution request as the previous reception time, and stores the time obtained by adding the special lottery game time (for example, 60 minutes) to the previous reception time as the end time of the special lottery game time. Note that the setting unit 334 that determines whether or not the number of receptions is greater than 0 is an example of a reception determination unit.

Next, when it is determined that the difference time exceeds the special lottery game time, the setting part 334 sets the lottery number to the initial value of 5, and changes the reset history to the normal lottery game associated with the player in the player table to reset and stores it. Also, in the player table, the end time of the previous acceptance time and the special lottery game time is deleted. Then, the setting unit 334 instructs the lottery unit 335 to execute lottery processing for the set lottery number. In this way, the setting unit 334 executes the process of setting the lottery number according to whether the difference time is within the special lottery game time as the process of setting the lottery number based on the difference time, thereby improving the player's willingness to continue the game.

In addition, the setting unit 334 may execute a process of setting the lottery number according to the difference time as the process of setting the lottery number based on the difference time. For example, if the difference time is less than 10 minutes, the setting unit 334 determines the number of sheets obtained by increasing the candidate value shown in the lottery number table by two sheets as the set value, and sets the lottery number to the determined set value. If the difference time is 10 minutes or more and less than 30 minutes, the setting part 334 determines the number of sheets obtained by adding one more sheet from the candidate value shown in the lottery number table as the set value, and sets the lottery number to the determined set value. If the differential time is 30 minutes or more, the setting unit 334 determines the set value without increasing the candidate value shown in the lottery number table, and sets the lottery number to the determined set value. When a lottery number table indicates 6 character cards as the number of lotteries for the second special lottery game, when a game execution request for the second special lottery game is accepted within 10 minutes after the first special lottery game, the number of lotteries for the second special lottery game is increased by two from six to eight. In this manner, the setting unit 334 sets the number of increments to be larger as the difference time is shorter, so that it is possible to increase the player's willingness to execute the next lottery game sooner.

Further, the server storage unit 32 may store a plurality of lottery number tables that the setting unit 334 refers to. A server storage part 32 sets and stores the number of sheets increased from the previous time in a specific lottery round in each of a plurality of lottery number tables so as to be different from the number of sheets increased in a specific lottery round of other types of lottery number tables. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram for showing an example of each type of lottery number table stored in the server storage unit 32 . For example, the server storage unit 32 stores a normal lottery number table as shown in FIG. 8A, an early increase type lottery number table as shown in FIG. When an early increase type lottery number table is used in a special lottery game, the lottery number of character cards can be greatly increased at an early stage (second or third time, etc.) when the lottery game is started, and expectations for acquisition of the character cards can be improved. In addition, in the special lottery game, when the latter increase type lottery number table is used, the more the lottery game is repeated, the more the accumulated number of lottery numbers of the character cards increases exponentially, so that the player can improve the expectation for the acquisition of the character cards. Note that the setting unit 334 may select a predetermined lottery number table from a plurality of lottery number tables in accordance with the player's selection operation instruction. In this case, the server 3 causes the mobile terminal 2 to display display data for displaying a selection screen (not shown) for selecting a plurality of lottery number tables, and selects one lottery number table from the plurality of lottery number tables according to the player's selection operation instructions on the selection screen displayed on the mobile terminal 2. The setting unit 334 may randomly select one lottery number table from a plurality of lottery number tables, or may select the lottery number tables in a predetermined order for each lottery game. In addition, the server 3 may cause the mobile terminal 2 to display a screen (for example, a schematic diagram shown in FIG. 8) showing the relationship between the candidate value in the lottery number table used in the lottery game and the lottery times, in response to a player's request. In this way, by allowing the setting part 334 to select a predetermined table from a plurality of lottery number tables, it is possible to provide the player with a plurality of increase patterns of the lottery number and to provide various game medium selection methods.

Further, the setting unit 334 may change the candidate value associated with the lottery round of the lottery number table according to the number of times lottery game execution requests are received from each player in the game system during the special lottery game time. First, when the difference time exceeds the special lottery game time for each of a plurality of players, the setting part 334 stores the number of receptions indicated by the reception information stored in the player table of each player as the number of withdrawals from the game in the server storage part 32 in association with each player. Next, the setting unit 334 counts the number of players associated with each game withdrawal time as the number of players withdrawn from the game. Then, the setting unit 334 changes the candidate value associated with the lottery round of the lottery number table according to the counted numbers of withdrawals corresponding to each game withdrawal round. For example, in the lottery number table, the setting unit 334 sets a larger number of increased numbers from the previous candidate value for the candidate value of the lottery round corresponding to the game withdrawal round in which the number of players withdrawing is large. Then, the setting unit 334 refers to the newly set and stored lottery number table and sets the lottery number of the special lottery game. Thus, at the timing when the number of players who do not continue the lottery game increases, it is possible to set the accumulated number of lottery numbers to be large, and it is possible to provide a variety of game medium selection methods that change according to the execution status of the lottery game of a plurality of players.

Further, the setting unit 334 may execute the lottery number setting process, the lottery process, and lottery result screen display data creation using the game execution request received from the related player of each player as the game execution request of each player for each of the plurality of players. Thereby, the special lottery game can be executed using the game execution request of the related player, and communication with the related player can be activated.

Also, the setting unit 334 may set the lottery number of the special lottery game without using the lottery number table. For example, the setting unit 334 sets the lottery number for the current special lottery game according to the rarity of the character card given in the previous special lottery game. First, the setting unit 334 calculates the total number of points of the character cards awarded to the player in the previous special lottery game, based on predetermined points corresponding to the rarity of the character cards. Then, the setting unit 334 sets the lottery number of the current special lottery game according to the calculated total number of points. As a result, the lottery number of the current special lottery game is set according to the lottery result of the previous special lottery game, and it is possible to provide a lottery game that surprises the player. For example, when a higher rarity is associated with a higher point, the setting unit 334 sets a larger lottery number as the calculated total number of points increases. As a result, the more character cards with a high rarity degree are acquired, the more character cards will be won in the next special lottery game, so the player's expectation for further winning can be increased. Further, when a higher rarity is associated with a higher point, the setting unit 334 may set a larger lottery number as the calculated total number of points is smaller. As a result, even when many characters with a low rarity degree are obtained, more character cards are drawn in the next special drawing game, so that the player's motivation to try again is not lost, and the player's motivation to continue the drawing game can be improved. Also, the setting unit 334 may increase the number of lotteries to be increased from the lottery number of the previous special lottery game according to the number of receptions. As a result, the more lottery games are executed, the more character cards will be won in the next special lottery game. When the setting unit 334 sets the lottery number of the special lottery game without using the lottery number table in this way, the setting unit 334 may store the lottery number and the number of lotteries set by the setting unit 334 automatically or in accordance with the player's instruction, or the number of lottery increases and the number of lotteries set by the setting unit 334, in association with the player in the server storage unit 32.

Further, the setting unit 334 may allow the special lottery game to be executed again after the normal lottery game is reset when the executable number of times is exceeded (sixth or later). As a result, the process of increasing the lottery number is repeated from the sixth time onwards, so that the player's expectation for acquiring character cards can be improved.

Further, the condition for resetting the lottery number in the special lottery game to the initial value of 5 may be not when the executable count is exceeded but when a specific lottery possible period is exceeded. For example, when three days have passed since the first normal lottery game was executed, the setting unit 334 sets (resets) the lottery number in the special lottery game to the initial value of five. As a result, the number of lottery cards continues to increase only for the three days of the lottery possible period, so it is possible to improve the player's sense of expectation for obtaining character cards. Also, the lottery available period may be the execution time of another game or other event provided by the server 3 . For example, the period during which the lottery is possible is set as the period during which an event related to the main game provided by the server 3 is held. As a result, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the number of participants in the lottery game due to the execution time of other games or other events.

When the setting part 334 instructs the execution of the lottery process, the lottery part 335 refers to the lottery object table, refers to the lottery card information associated with the player instructing the execution of the lottery process, and extracts the card ID of the character card to be the lottery object. Next, the lottery section 335 reads the lottery probability associated with each character card by referring to the card table. Next, the lottery section 335 selects the card ID of one character card from the card IDs of all the character cards extracted from the card table based on the lottery probability associated with each character card. Next, the lottery section 335 assigns the character card to the player by storing the card ID of the selected character card in association with the player. For example, the lottery unit 335 stores the card ID of the selected character card in the player's owned card information in the player table. A lottery part 335 repeatedly executes the process of selecting the card ID of the character card based on the lottery probability associated with each character card and giving it to the player until the lottery number of character cards set by the setting part 334 is obtained. The lottery unit 335 may select the card IDs of the lottery number of character cards set by the setting unit 334 from among the card IDs of all the character cards extracted from the player table by one lottery processing based on the lottery probability associated with each character card. Also, the card table may store a lottery probability associated with each group of character cards. For example, the group of character cards is a group of character cards having the same rarity of character cards, and the lottery probability may be stored in association with the rarity of the character cards. In this case, the lottery section 335 may refer to the card table to read the rarity associated with each character card, and select a character card based on the lottery probability corresponding to the rarity. Thus, for example, when the higher the rarity, the lower the lottery probability is calculated, the higher the rarity, the higher the rarity of the character card, and the higher the rarity, the higher the value of the character card.

Next, the lottery section 335 instructs the display data creation section 336 to create display data for displaying the lottery result screen. That is, when the special lottery game or the first normal lottery game is executed, the lottery section 335 instructs the display data creation section 336 to create display data for displaying the special lottery result screen 500 . Further, when the lottery processing for the lottery number in the second and subsequent normal lottery games is executed, the lottery unit 335 instructs the display data generation unit 336 to generate display data for displaying the normal lottery result screen 510 .

When instructed by the lottery game determination unit 333 to create display data for displaying the special lottery game screen 410 , the display data creating unit 336 creates display data for displaying the special lottery game screen 410 . First, the display data creation unit 336 creates lottery number information with reference to the lottery number table. Next, the display data generation unit 336 sets the number of times obtained by adding 1 to the number of receptions indicated by the reception information acquired by the lottery game determination unit 333 as the next execution time. Next, the display data creation unit 336 refers to the lottery number table and acquires the candidate value corresponding to the next execution time as the next lottery number. Next, with reference to the player table, the end time of the special lottery game time is obtained. Then, the display data creation unit 336 creates display data for displaying the special lottery game screen 410 based on the lottery number information, the next execution time, the next lottery number, the end time of the special lottery game time, and the like.

Further, when instructed by the lottery game determining unit 333 to create display data for displaying the normal lottery game screen 420 , the display data creating unit 336 creates display data for displaying the normal lottery game screen 420 .

This operation sequence is executed mainly by the terminal processing unit 25 and the server processing unit 33 in cooperation with each element of the mobile terminal 2 and the server 3 based on programs stored in advance in the terminal storage unit 22 and the server storage unit 32.

First, when the player presses the lottery game button 402 using the operation unit 23 while the home screen 400 is displayed on the display unit 24 of the mobile terminal 2, the browsing execution unit 251 of the mobile terminal 2 transmits a lottery game start request to the server 3 via the terminal communication unit 21 (step S101).

The lottery game determination unit 333 of the server 3 executes lottery game determination processing when the progress control unit 331 receives the lottery game start request from the mobile terminal 2 via the server communication unit 31 (step S102). Details of the lottery game determination process will be described later.

Next, when the lottery game determination unit 333 instructs the display data generation unit 336 to generate display data for displaying the special lottery game screen 410 or the normal lottery game screen 420, the display data generation unit 336 generates display data for displaying the special lottery game screen 410 or the normal lottery game screen 420 (step S103).

Next, the progress control unit 331 transmits display data for displaying the special lottery game screen 410 or the normal lottery game screen 420 created by the display data creating unit 336 to the mobile terminal 2 via the server communication unit 31 (step S104).

When the display data is received from the server 3 via the terminal communication unit 21, the browsing execution unit 251 of the portable terminal 2 creates drawing data based on the received display data, and causes the display unit 24 to display the special lottery game screen 410 or the normal lottery game screen 420 (step S105).

Next, when the player presses the lottery button 412 or 422 using the operation unit 23 while the special lottery game screen 410 or the normal lottery game screen 420 is displayed on the display unit 24, the browsing execution unit 251 transmits a lottery game execution request to the server 3 via the terminal communication unit 21 (step S106).

When the progress control unit 331 receives the lottery game execution request from the mobile terminal 2 via the server communication unit 31, the setting unit 334 of the server 3 executes lottery number setting processing (step S107). Details of the lottery number setting process will be described later.

Next, the lottery part 335 repeatedly executes the lottery process so as to obtain the lottery number of character cards set by the setting part 334, and stores the lottery number of character cards selected by the lottery process in the player table in association with the player (step S108).

Next, the display data creating unit 336 creates display data for displaying the special lottery result screen 500 or the normal lottery result screen 510 based on the result of the lottery process executed by the lottery unit 335 (step S109).

Next, the progress control unit 331 transmits display data for displaying the special lottery result screen 500 or the normal lottery result screen 510 created by the display data creation unit 336 to the mobile terminal 2 via the server communication unit 31 (step S110).

When the display data is received from the server 3 via the terminal communication unit 21, the browsing execution unit 251 of the portable terminal 2 creates drawing data based on the received display data, and causes the display unit 24 to display the special lottery result screen 500 or the normal lottery result screen 510 (step S111). With this, the operation sequence relating to the game processing of the game system 1 ends.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the operation flow of lottery game determination processing by the lottery game determination unit 333. As shown in FIG. The lottery game determination process shown in FIG. 10 is executed in step S102 of FIG.

First, the lottery game determination unit 333 acquires the number of receptions indicated by the reception information stored in association with the player from the player table, and determines whether or not the special lottery game has been executed (the number of receptions of lottery game execution requests within the special lottery game time is greater than 0) (step S201).

Next, when the special lottery game has never been executed (the number of receptions is 0) (step S201-No), the lottery game determination unit 333 advances the process to step S205, which will be described later. Further, if the lottery game determining unit 333 has executed a special lottery game (the number of receptions of lottery game execution requests within the special lottery game time is greater than 0) (step S201-Yes), it determines whether or not the number of receptions is equal to or less than the executable number (step S202).

Next, when the number of receptions exceeds the executable number (step S202-No), the lottery game determination unit 333 advances the process to step S206, which will be described later.

Further, when the acquired number of receptions is equal to or less than the executable number (step S202-Yes), the lottery game determination unit 333 refers to the player table and determines whether or not the lottery game to be executed has been reset to the normal lottery game (step S203).

Next, when the lottery game determination unit 333 determines that the lottery game to be executed has been reset to the normal lottery game (step S203-Yes), the process proceeds to step S206, which will be described later. When the lottery game determination unit 333 determines that the lottery game to be executed has not been reset to the normal lottery game (step S203-No), the lottery game determination unit 333 determines whether or not the difference between the current time when the lottery game start request is received and the previous reception time is within the special lottery game time (step S204).

Next, when the lottery game determination unit 333 determines that the difference time is within the special lottery game time (step S204-Yes), the lottery game determining unit 333 determines the special lottery game to be executed (step S205). The lottery game determining section 333 then instructs the display data creating section 336 to create display data for displaying the special lottery game screen 410, and the series of steps ends.

Next, when the lottery game determination unit 333 determines that the difference time exceeds the special lottery game time (step S204-No), it determines (resets) the lottery game to be executed as the normal lottery game (step S206). The lottery game determination unit 333 then instructs the display data creation unit 336 to create display data for displaying the normal lottery game screen 420, and the series of steps ends.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of an operation flow of lottery number setting processing by the setting unit 334 . The lottery number setting process shown in FIG. 11 is performed in step S107 of FIG.

First, the setting unit 334 determines whether or not the lottery game type included in the lottery game execution request indicates a special lottery game (step S301). The setting unit 334 may instruct the lottery game determination unit 333 to perform the lottery game determination process (steps S201 to S206) before executing step S301, and may execute step S301 based on the lottery game type (special lottery game or normal lottery game) determined by the lottery game determination unit 333.

Next, when the setting unit 334 determines that the lottery game type indicates the normal lottery game (step S301-No), the process proceeds to step 305. FIG. Further, when the setting unit 334 determines that the lottery game type indicates a special lottery game (step S301-Yes), the setting unit 334 obtains from the player table the number of receptions indicated by the reception information stored in association with the player, and determines whether or not the special lottery game has been executed (whether the number of receptions of a lottery game execution request within the special lottery game time is greater than 0) (step S302).

Next, if the setting unit 334 has never executed a special lottery game (the number of receptions of a lottery game execution request within the special lottery game time is 0) (step S302-No), the process proceeds to step S304, which will be described later. If the setting unit 334 has executed the special lottery game (the number of receptions of lottery game execution requests within the special lottery game time is greater than 0) (step S302-Yes), the setting unit 334 determines whether or not the difference between the current time when the lottery game execution request is received and the previous reception time is within the special lottery game time (step S303).

Next, when the setting unit 334 determines that the difference time is within the special lottery game time (step S303-Yes), the setting unit 334 refers to the lottery number table, determines the candidate value corresponding to the lottery round as the set value, and sets the determined set value as the lottery number in the special lottery game to be executed (step S304). Then, the setting unit 334 instructs the lottery unit 335 to execute lottery processing for the set number of lottery coins, and the series of steps ends.

Next, when the setting unit 334 determines that the difference time exceeds the special lottery game time (step S303-No), it sets the lottery number in the normal lottery game to be executed (step S305). The setting unit 334 instructs the lottery unit 335 to execute lottery processing for the set number of lottery coins, and ends the series of steps.

As described above, the server 3 increases the number of character cards that the player can acquire based on the time at which the game execution request is accepted, so that the player's desire to continue playing the game can be enhanced.

Note that the setting unit 334 may execute a lottery probability setting process instead of the lottery number setting process.

Lottery probability setting processing by the progress control unit 331, the setting unit 334, and the lottery unit 335 of the server 3 will be described below. The progress control unit 331 instructs the setting unit 334 to set the lottery probability. Normally, the card ID of each character card is selected from the card IDs of the character cards to be selected based on the lottery probability preliminarily associated with each character card, but the lottery probability of the card ID of the specific character card is changed by a setting part 334.例文帳に追加In this case, the server storage unit 32 stores in advance the initial probability and the set probability for each character card. Note that the set probability is a probability set according to the number of lotteries and the difference time. For example, as the set probability, a probability that is greater than or equal to the lottery probability of the lottery immediately preceding the lottery is set for each lottery, and the shorter the difference time is, the larger the probability is set.

When instructed to set the lottery probability by the progress control unit 331 that has received the lottery game execution request, the setting unit 334 determines whether or not to execute the special lottery game based on the lottery game type included in the lottery game execution request. Next, when the lottery game type included in the lottery game execution request indicates the normal lottery game, the setting part 334 determines not to execute the special lottery game, sets the lottery probability associated with each character card in the card table as the initial probability, and sets the lottery probability as the initial probability. Then, the setting unit 334 instructs the lottery unit 335 to execute lottery processing based on the set lottery probability.

Next, when the lottery game type included in the lottery game execution request indicates the special lottery game, the setting part 334 determines that the special lottery game is to be executed, refers to the player table, and acquires the number of receptions indicated by reception information stored in association with the player based on the player ID included in the lottery game execution request. Next, when the number of receptions is 0, the setting unit 334 sets the lottery probability associated with each character card in the card table as the initial probability, and sets the lottery probability as the initial probability. Then, the setting unit 334 instructs the lottery unit 335 to execute lottery processing based on the set lottery probability.

Next, when the number of times of reception is more than 0 times and equal to or less than the number of executable times, the setting part 334 determines whether or not the difference time between the current time when the lottery game execution request is received and the previous reception time is within the special lottery game time. Next, when determining that the difference time is within the special lottery game time, the setting unit 334 sets the lottery probability to the lottery probability in the special lottery game. That is, the setting unit 334 refers to the set probability stored in the server storage unit 32, and sets the lottery probability of a specific character card (rare character card, etc.) in the special lottery game to a set probability corresponding to the number of receptions and the difference time. When the lottery probability of a specific character card is set to a large set probability, the setting unit 334 changes the lottery probability of any or all of the other character cards to a small probability. Then, the setting unit 334 instructs the lottery unit 335 to execute the lottery process at the set lottery probability.

Next, when determining that the differential time exceeds the special lottery game time, the setting part 334 sets the lottery probability associated with each character card in the card table as the initial probability, sets the lottery probability as the initial probability, and changes the reset history to the normal lottery game associated with the player in the player table to reset. Then, the setting unit 334 instructs the lottery unit 335 to execute lottery processing with the set lottery probability.

When the setting part 334 instructs the execution of the lottery process, the lottery part 335 refers to the lottery object table, refers to the lottery card information associated with the player instructing the execution of the lottery process, and extracts the card ID of the character card to be the lottery object. Next, a lottery part 335 selects the card ID of one character card from card IDs of all the character cards extracted from the card table so that a specific character card which is a rare character card is selected with a set lottery probability.

In this way, if the player requests the execution of the lottery game within the special lottery game time, the player can execute the special lottery game in which the lottery probability of the rare character card increases, and the expectation for the acquisition of the character card can be improved. Thus, in the lottery game, based on the time when the lottery game execution request is accepted, the possibility that the player can acquire the character card desired by the player is increased, so that the player's expectation for acquisition of the character card can be improved.

Note that the setting unit 334 may set the lottery number by the setting unit 334 and set the lottery probability by the setting unit 334 before the lottery processing by the lottery unit 335 . With this configuration, if the player requests execution of the lottery game within the special lottery game time, the player can execute the special lottery game in which the lottery number of character cards increases and the lottery probability of rare character cards increases, and the player's desire to continue the game can be further improved.

Note that the lottery section 335 may further give a reward according to the character card given to the player by the lottery game when the lottery game is executed. For example, the lottery unit 335 calculates the total number of points of the character cards given to the player in the lottery game, based on predetermined points corresponding to attributes such as rarity of the character cards. Then, the lottery unit 335 gives a reward corresponding to the total number of points of the character card given to the player to the player by storing it in association with the player each time each of a plurality of predetermined threshold values is exceeded. As a result, the player can acquire an additional reward together with the player character from the lottery game, so that it is possible to increase the willingness to play the lottery game. In addition, the lottery unit 335 may provide a player with a reward according to the accumulated value of the total number of points of all character cards given to the player by the executed lottery game by associating the reward with the player.

Also, the lottery unit 335 may change the special lottery game time according to the number of times the above-described reward is given for each player. In this case, the player table further associates and stores the special lottery game time for each player. A predetermined time (60 minutes, etc.) is stored as the special lottery game time. For example, the lottery part 335 determines whether or not the number of rewards given exceeds a predetermined number of times for each player, changes the special lottery game time associated with the player whose rewards have been given more than the predetermined number of times to a time longer than the predetermined time (75 minutes, etc.) and stores it in the player table. As a result, the time during which the next special lottery game can be executed from the previous lottery game changes according to the winning result of the lottery game, so it is possible to provide various game medium selection methods. Also, the lottery section 335 may change the special lottery game time based on one or both of the number of receptions and the differential time. In this case, the player table further associates and stores the special lottery game time for each player. A predetermined time (60 minutes, etc.) is stored as the special lottery game time. For example, the lottery part 335 determines whether or not the number of receptions exceeds a predetermined number for each player, changes the special lottery game time associated with the player whose number of receptions exceeds the predetermined number to a time longer than the predetermined time (75 minutes, etc.) and stores it in the player table. As a result, the special lottery game is executed according to the number of requests for execution of the special lottery game, so it is possible to provide the special lottery game according to the game execution status of the player. Further, the lottery unit 335 determines whether or not the difference time is within a predetermined threshold value (40 minutes, etc.) for each player, changes the special lottery game time associated with the player whose difference time is within the predetermined threshold value (40 minutes, etc.) to a time longer than the predetermined time (75 minutes, etc.) and stores it in the player table. As a result, the special lottery game is executed according to the game execution time of the player, so it is possible to provide the special lottery game according to the game execution status of the player. Further, the lottery part 335 may calculate the remaining time of the difference between the special lottery game time and the difference time for each player, change the next special lottery game time to a time longer than a predetermined time based on the calculated remaining time, and store it in the player table. For example, when the differential time is 30 minutes, the remaining 30 minutes of the difference between the special lottery game time (60 minutes) and the differential time (30 minutes) is added to calculate a time (90 minutes) longer than the predetermined time (60 minutes), which is stored in the player table as the next special lottery game time. Furthermore, the remaining time of the difference between the special lottery game time and the differential time for each lottery may be accumulated for each lottery, and the accumulated time may be added to a predetermined time and stored in the player table as the next special lottery game time. As described above, since the special lottery game is executed according to the game execution time of the player, it is possible to provide the special lottery game according to the game execution status of the player. The difference time used by the lottery part 335 to change the special lottery game time may be the difference time between the previous lottery game execution request and the current lottery game execution request, or the difference time between any previous lottery game execution request and the next lottery game execution request.

Further, in calculating the total number of points, the lottery section 335 may calculate the total number of points by performing a predetermined weighting process on the points corresponding to the increased character cards given in the special lottery game. For example, the number of lottery numbers in the second lottery is six, which is one more than in the normal lottery game. Therefore, the lottery unit 335 calculates the total number of points of five character cards among the character cards given to the player in the special lottery game, which is the second lottery game, and adds a value obtained by multiplying the points of the remaining one character card by a predetermined ratio (for example, 50%) to the calculated total number of points to calculate the total number of points. In this way, the value associated with the additional character cards given in the special lottery game and the value associated with the reward given with the character cards of the lottery number (five) in the normal lottery game are different from each other, so that the strategic nature of the special lottery game can be improved, and the interest of the game can be improved.

Further, the setting unit 334 may set the lottery number table in real time according to the number of players participating in the lottery game. For example, when the number of players currently participating in the lottery game is less than a predetermined number, the setting unit 334 sets the lottery number using the early increase type lottery number table (FIG. 8B). As a result, the number of lottery character cards can be quickly increased in a time period when the load on the server 3 is less, and the expectation for obtaining character cards can be improved. In addition, it is possible to encourage players to participate in a time period when the number of participants in the game is less than a predetermined number, and the time spent by the players in the game is averaged, so that the load on the server 3 can be distributed.

Further, the setting unit 334 may set the lottery number of the special lottery game for each player according to the execution history of lottery games executed by a plurality of players. For example, the server storage unit 32 further stores a group table. In the group table, reception information indicating the number of reception times of the lottery game execution request received within the special lottery game time and the previous reception time, the reset history to the normal lottery game, and the end time of the special lottery game time are stored in association with a group ID for identifying a group composed of a plurality of players. A group is a guild, a party, or the like.

The setting unit 334 executes the aforementioned lottery game using a group table of groups to which the players belong instead of the player table. That is, the setting part 334 increases and stores the reception frequency of the group table of the group each time the first normal lottery game or the special lottery game is executed by each player belonging to the group, and also stores the last reception time and the end time of the special lottery game time. As a result, the game results of the lottery game of each player are sequentially stored in the group table of the group to which each player belongs, and the number of lottery numbers increases by the plurality of players belonging to the group, so that communication with other players in the group can be activated.

Further, in the lottery game using the group table described above, when one player belonging to the group has executed the lottery game twice or more in succession, the setting unit 334 may not reflect the execution of the lottery game for the second and subsequent times in the group table. Further, the setting unit 334 may perform control so that one player belonging to the group cannot execute the lottery game two or more times in succession. That is, when one player belonging to the group executes the lottery game, the setting unit 334 controls the lottery button 412, the lottery button 422, the re-lottery button 504, and the re-lottery button 513 displayed on the portable terminal 2 of the one player so that they cannot be pressed until the other player of the group executes the lottery game. Even if the lottery button 412, the lottery button 422, the relottery button 504 or the relottery button 513 is pressed and the lottery game execution request is received instead of the process of controlling the lottery button 412, the lottery button 422, the relottery button 504 and the relottery button 513 so that they cannot be pressed, the setting part 334 does not instruct the lottery part 335 to execute the lottery process. Further, the setting unit 334 may increase and store the number of receptions of the group table of the group only when the lottery game is executed by one player belonging to the group and the lottery game is executed by another player of the group immediately after that. As described above, since the lottery number increases based on cooperation with other players, it is possible to further activate communication with other players in the group. In this case, when any player belonging to the group executes the first normal lottery game or special lottery game, the number of receptions and execution of the lottery game may be notified to the other players.

Also, the executable count may be stored in the player table in association with each of a plurality of players. In this case, the setting unit 334 may change the executable count according to the game points given to each player in the main game or the number of related players. As a result, when the setting part 334 changes the number of executable times more for a player who has acquired more game points, the player can execute more special lottery games as he succeeds in the main game, and can improve his willingness to participate in the main game. In addition, when the setting part 334 changes the number of executable times more for a player whose number of related players is set larger, the player can execute more special lottery games as the number of related players in the game increases. Therefore, the setting unit 334 having such a function can motivate the player to improve the relationship with other players.

Also, the executable count may be stored in the card table in association with each of the plurality of character cards. In this case, the setting unit 334 sets the character cards associated with the same executable number as target cards for the lottery game, so that the executable number of the special lottery game can be changed for each lottery game.

Further, in the present embodiment, the game different from the main game is described as a lottery game, but the game is not limited to the lottery game, and may be any form of game as long as it is a game that selects specific game media.

Further, in the present embodiment, an example in which the lottery game content is given to the player has been described, but the lottery game content does not necessarily have to be given to the player as long as it is stored in association with the player. For example, the lottery game content may be set so that it can only be viewed by the player, or can only be provided to other players.

Also, each function of the server processing unit 33 described above may be executed by the terminal processing unit 25 of the mobile terminal 2 . In this case, if the player table, the card table, and the lottery number table are stored in the terminal storage unit 22, there is no need to communicate with the server 3 each time processing is performed, and the above functions can be realized only by the mobile terminal 2. Also, the game executed on the mobile terminal 2 may be a hybrid game in which the server 3 and the mobile terminal 2 each take part of the processing. In that case, for example, each screen related to the progress of the game is a web display displayed on the mobile terminal 2 based on display data generated by the server 3, and other menu screens and the like are native displays displayed by a native application installed on the mobile terminal 2.

Also, the game system 1 may be configured to include only a plurality of mobile terminals 2 operated by each of a plurality of players. Each of the plurality of mobile terminals 2 performs wireless communication with the other mobile terminals 2 according to the IEEE802.11 standard wireless communication method, and the plurality of mobile terminals 2 constitute an ad-hoc network. In this case, a specific mobile terminal 2 among the plurality of mobile terminals 2 functions as a host and executes each function of the server 3 described above. A mobile terminal 2 other than the specific mobile terminal 2 among the plurality of mobile terminals 2 communicates with the specific mobile terminal 2 that executes each function of the server 3, so that the lottery game described above is executed. A specific mobile terminal 2 functioning as a host executes both the functions of the server 3 and the functions of the mobile terminal 2 .

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, substitutions and modifications can be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
