1. Outline of this embodiment In the game system of this embodiment, a player plays a game provided by a server using a mobile terminal. In the game system of this embodiment, the server provides a web game.

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. Furthermore, the server updates game data, transmits information to the mobile terminal, etc. based on information transmitted from the mobile terminal via the browser.

The games provided by the server include a main game and a lottery game that is another game different from the main game. As a main game, the server executes a quest that progresses according to a game scenario. A quest is generally referred to as a search, a mission, etc., and, for example, has a plurality of floors (stages) in each of a plurality of dungeons, and processes on each floor are sequentially executed. Processing on each floor includes battles between the player character and enemy characters, granting benefits such as specific game media to players, so-called RAID battles in which multiple players participate, encounters with other players, and/or This includes battles with other players. The player character is a game medium owned by the player, and the enemy character is a game medium owned by a non-player character or another player.

Game media is electronic data used in games, and includes, for example, cards, items, characters, avatars, and the like. In addition, game media is electronic data that can be acquired, held, used, managed, exchanged, synthesized, enhanced, sold, discarded, and/or gifted within the game by the player as the game progresses. The usage mode of the game medium is not limited to that specified in this specification. By executing quests, players can grow their characters and acquire items.

In this embodiment, cards registered in advance in the game system will be described as an example of game media. A player character or enemy character card used in a battle has battle parameters. Battle parameters include, for example, attack power, defense power, physical strength (or HP (hit points)), attributes (for example, fire, water, lightning, etc.), rarity (for example, normal, rare, S (super) rare, SS (Double Super Rare, SSS (Triple Super) Rare, Legend, etc.), activation rate of skills (special effects), attack speed (number of attacks in one turn, number of turns until attacking, etc.), number of defenses in one battle etc. parameters and/or job (for example, occupation, military type, etc.). Further, the card to which one character is assigned is not limited to one card, and a plurality of cards having different battle parameters may be assigned to each character.

As a lottery game, the server executes a lottery in which a character card is selected from among a plurality of character cards set as lottery targets according to a request from a player operating a mobile terminal, and associates the selected character card with the player. It is given to the player by memorizing it. Character cards set as lottery targets are classified into a plurality of groups. Each group is classified according to the rarity of the character card. Note that each group may be classified according to the attributes of the character, the time or event when the character card was issued, the item worn by the character, or the like. Note that the request from the player is a lottery request for instructing the server to perform a lottery, and upon receiving the lottery request from the player, the server randomly selects a character card with equal probability from the character cards to be randomly selected.

Further, the server extracts character cards belonging to the same group as the selected character card from the character cards to be drawn, and deletes the extracted character cards. That is, in the next lottery, the server selects a character card from lottery targets that do not include character cards of the same group as the group to which the assigned character card belongs.

In addition, in the next lottery, the server may further add (replenish) character cards that belong to the same group as the group to which the selected character card belongs to the character cards to be drawn. Further, the server may select only character cards belonging to the same group as the group to which the selected character card belongs as character cards to be selected for the next lottery.

This makes it possible to significantly change the cards to be selected for the next lottery on a group-by-group basis in accordance with the results of the lottery, thereby improving the player's expectations for acquiring cards. Furthermore, by branching out the cards to be selected for the next lottery depending on the lottery results, the player's desire to continue playing the lottery game is improved.

2.1.1. Functions of Terminal Processing Unit 25 FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of a lottery game provided by the game system 1.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the lottery game by game system 1, character cards to be randomly selected are classified into a plurality of groups (group A, group B, group C, group D) each including two or more character cards. Ru. Group A is a group of low rarity cards, such as character cards with the lowest rarity (normal), and group A includes four low rarity cards of different types (character cards A, B, C). ,D) are included. Group B is a group of medium rarity cards such as character cards with medium rarity (rare), and group B includes three medium rarity cards of different types (character cards E, F, G ) is included. Group C is a group of high rarity cards, such as the highest rarity (super rare) character card, and Group C includes two high rarity cards (character cards H and I) of different types. included. Group D is the same as group C, a group of high rarity cards such as the highest rarity (super rare) character cards, and group D includes two cards of different types from each card included in group C. Contains high rarity cards (character cards J and K).

The server 3 executes a lottery process in which character cards are randomly selected with equal probability from among the character cards to be drawn belonging to groups A to D. If the character card B is selected as a result of the lottery process, the server 3 gives the selected character card B to the player. In that case, the server 3 specifies the group (group A) to which the selected character card B belongs. The server 3 deletes the character cards belonging to the specified group A (character cards A, B, C, D) from the character cards to be drawn, and sets the remaining character cards as character cards to be drawn next.

In this way, in the lottery game executed by the server 3, when a player performs a lottery and a character card is selected by the lottery process, the character cards included in the same group as the group to which the selected character card belongs are They will not be eligible for the next lottery. Therefore, the character cards to be drawn in the next lottery game are significantly changed on a group-by-group basis, making it possible to increase the players' expectations for acquiring character cards. Furthermore, in this lottery game, the probability of winning a character card that is not selected increases each time the lottery is executed. Even if a player cannot acquire a high-value character card in one lottery, he or she performs a lottery with the expectation that the character card can be acquired in the next lottery, thereby making it possible to improve the player's desire to continue playing the lottery.

Configuration of Server Processing Unit 33 The server processing unit 33 includes a classification unit 331, a progress control unit 332, a display data output unit 333, a main game execution unit 334, a selection unit 335, an association unit 336, and a determination unit 337. Each of these units is a functional module realized by a program executed by a processor included in the server processing unit 33. Alternatively, each of these parts may be implemented in the server 3 as firmware.

The classification unit 331 classifies the character cards included in the lottery target into a plurality of groups before the lottery game is executed. The classification unit 331 classifies each character card to be drawn into a plurality of groups according to a plurality of classifications, sets a group ID, and stores it in a lottery card table.

Note that the classification unit 331 classifies each character card into a plurality of groups according to the value (for example, rarity) of each character card, and determines the number of character cards belonging to each group according to the value corresponding to each group. May be changed. In that case, the classification unit 331 decreases the number of character cards belonging to a group with higher value of character cards, and increases the number of character cards belonging to the group with lower value of character cards. As a result, when low value cards are selected in the lottery, the low value cards are deleted all at once, making it possible to improve the probability that the player will be able to obtain a high value card in the next lottery.

Furthermore, the classification unit 331 sets the initial value of the lottery target group that is the target of the lottery process. The classification unit 331 stores, for each of the plurality of classifications, all group IDs defined in each classification as initial values of lottery target groups.

The progress control unit 332 controls the start and progress of the game, and instructs the classification unit 331, display data output unit 333, main game execution unit 334, selection unit 335, association unit 336, and determination unit 337 to execute processing as appropriate. do. The progress control unit 332 exchanges necessary data with the mobile terminal 2 via the server communication unit 31.

Upon receiving the request for each screen described using FIGS. 5(a) to 5(c) from the mobile terminal 2, the progress control unit 332 selects buttons for accepting instructions from the player, text information to be notified to the player, and images. etc., instructs each section to create display data for displaying the images in a layout appropriate for 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 that button is received from the mobile terminal 2, the progress control unit 332 similarly displays the next screen. It instructs each section to create data and transmits the data to the mobile terminal 2.

In particular, when the player performs an operation to start the game or transition to the home screen using the mobile terminal 2, and a corresponding home screen request is received from the mobile terminal 2, the progress control unit 332 controls the display. The data output unit 333 is instructed to create display data for displaying the home screen 500. Then, the progress control unit 332 transmits the display data created by the display data output unit 333 to the mobile terminal 2.

Further, when the main game button 501 is pressed on the home screen 500 displayed on the mobile terminal 2 and a corresponding main game request is received from the mobile terminal 2, the progress control unit 332 causes the main game execution unit 334 to instruct the execution of Then, the progress control unit 332 transmits display data created by the main game execution unit 334 for displaying a screen for executing the main game to the mobile terminal 2.

Further, when the lottery game button 502 is pressed on the home screen 500 displayed on the mobile terminal 2 and a corresponding lottery screen request is received from the mobile terminal 2, the progress control unit 332 outputs the lottery game button to the display data output unit 333. Instructs creation of display data for displaying screen 510. Then, the progress control unit 332 transmits the display data created by the display data output unit 333 to the mobile terminal 2.

Further, when the lottery button 512 on the lottery game screen 510 or the lottery button 524 on the lottery result screen 520 displayed on the mobile terminal 2 is pressed and a corresponding lottery request is received from the mobile terminal 2, the progress control unit 332 The selection unit 335, the association unit 336, and the determination unit 337 are instructed to execute the lottery process. After executing the lottery process, the progress control unit 332 transmits display data for displaying the lottery result screen 520 created by the display data output unit 333 to the mobile terminal 2.

Further, if the reset button 513 of the lottery game screen 510 or the reset button 525 of the lottery result screen 520 displayed on the mobile terminal 2 is pressed and a corresponding lottery game screen display data request is received from the mobile terminal 2, the progress control The unit 332 instructs the determining unit 337 to reset the character card to be drawn. Further, the progress control unit 332 instructs the display data output unit 333 to create display data for displaying the lottery game screen 510. Then, the progress control unit 332 transmits the display data created by the display data output unit 333 to the mobile terminal 2.

When instructed by the progress control unit 332 to create display data for the home screen, the display data output unit 333 creates display data for displaying the home screen 500 and passes the created display data to the progress control unit 332. .

In addition, when the progress control section 332 instructs the display data output section 333 to create display data for a lottery game screen, the display data output section 333 creates display data for displaying the lottery game screen 510, and controls the progress of the created display data. Pass it to Department 332.

The display data output unit 333 extracts the lottery target group ID associated with the player from the player table based on the player ID included in the lottery game screen request. The display data output unit 333 refers to the lottery target group table and extracts the lottery target card ID associated with the acquired lottery target group ID. Next, the display data output unit 333 calculates the ratio of the number of lottery target card IDs associated with each lottery target group ID to the number of lottery target card IDs associated with all the acquired lottery target group IDs. . The display data output unit 333 outputs the calculated ratio of each lottery target group ID as the winning probability for each of the plurality of groups. For example, if the number of character cards belonging to group A is 12, the number of character cards belonging to group B is 60, and the number of character cards belonging to all groups is 300, each character card is randomly assigned with equal probability. Therefore, the winning probability of group A is 4% (12/300), and the winning probability of group B is 20% (60/300).

The display data output unit 333 creates lottery game screen display data for displaying the winning probability, lottery button, return button, etc. in a predetermined layout based on the output winning probabilities for each of the plurality of groups.

When the lottery processing is completed, the display data output unit 333 calculates the next winning probability based on the lottery target card ID of the updated player table in the same way as the winning probability described above, and calculates the probability of winning the next time based on the lottery target card ID of the updated player table. Display data for displaying a lottery result screen 520 representing the acquired character card and the calculated next winning probability is created.

When the main game execution unit 334 is instructed to execute the main game by the progress control unit 332, the main game execution unit 334 creates display data for displaying a screen for executing the main game, and passes the created display data to the progress control unit 332. . Thereafter, the main game is executed according to the player's operations on the main game execution screen displayed on the mobile terminal 2. The main game execution unit 334 executes a battle or the like in the main game using cards and the like related to the used card information stored in the player table. In addition, the main game execution unit 334 updates the game points and player level on the player table according to the result, gives game points to the player, and increases the player level.

When the selection unit 335 is instructed to execute the lottery process by the progress control unit 332, the selection unit 335 refers to the lottery target group in the player table and selects the first category corresponding to the player based on the player ID included in the lottery request. Extract each group ID. Next, the selection unit 335 refers to the lottery target group table and reads character card IDs to be lottery targets belonging to all the extracted group IDs. The selection unit 335 randomly selects one character card ID from the read character card IDs with equal probability, and instructs the association unit 336 to give the character card to the player.

When the selection unit 335 instructs the association unit 336 to provide the character card to the player, the association unit 336 stores the character card selected by the selection unit 335 in association with the player, thereby providing the character card to the player. The association unit 336 adds the card ID of the character card to the player's owned card information on the player table, thereby giving the character card to the player. The association unit 336 instructs the determining unit 337 to change the character cards included in the lottery target.

When the determining unit 337 receives an instruction from the associating unit 336 to change the character card included in the lottery target, the determining unit 337 selects the group ID of the first classification to which the character card determined by the selecting unit 335 belongs from the lottery target group on the player table. Delete. As a result, in the next lottery game, character cards associated with the deleted group are not included in the lottery targets, and only character cards associated with groups other than the deleted group are selected as lottery targets. Therefore, in this lottery game, it is possible to significantly change the character card to be drawn in the next lottery game.

Furthermore, in this lottery game, even if a desired character card is not selected in the lottery, the probability that the character card will be selected in the next lottery increases dramatically. Each time the lottery is executed, the probability of winning a character card that was not selected increases, so it is possible to sufficiently improve the player's expectations for acquiring the character card and increase the player's desire to continue participating in the lottery. becomes.

Note that the determining unit 337 may leave some character cards instead of deleting all the character cards corresponding to the group ID to which the selected character card belongs from the next lottery target. In that case, the determining unit 337 determines by random lottery which character cards are to be left as the next lottery target and which character cards are to be deleted from the next lottery target. The determining unit 337 stores the card ID of the character card to be left as a lottery target in the player table in association with the player ID, and the selecting unit 335 stores the card ID of the character card to be left as the lottery target in the next lottery. be included in the lottery.

Further, the determining unit 337 determines the next character card to be drawn by adding a character card corresponding to the group ID to which the character card selected by the selecting unit 335 belongs from the character cards to be drawn. It's okay. In that case, the determining unit 337 further adds the same group ID as the group ID to which the character card selected by the selecting unit 335 belongs in the first classification of the lottery target group on the player table. As a result, in the next lottery game, the character cards associated with the group to which the selected character card belongs will be included twice in the lottery, which will significantly change the character cards to be drawn in the next lottery game. becomes possible. In this way, the winning probability of a character card that belongs to the same group as the character card obtained in the lottery increases, so if a player obtains a desired character card in the lottery, the character card in the next lottery game It is possible to sufficiently improve the player's expectations for acquiring cards, and to improve the player's desire to continue participating in the lottery.

The determining unit 337 determines the next character card to be drawn so that only the character card corresponding to the group ID to which the character card drawn by the selecting unit 335 belongs is included from the character cards to be drawn. You can also do this. In that case, the determining unit 337 deletes group IDs other than the group ID to which the character card selected by the selecting unit 335 belongs from the first classification of lottery target groups on the player table. In the next lottery, the selection unit 335 extracts the remaining group IDs of the first classification and the group IDs of the second classification corresponding to the player from the lottery target groups on the player table. Note that the group ID of the first classification that remains without being deleted is the group ID to which the character card selected by the selection unit 335 belongs. The selection unit 335 refers to the lottery target group table and extracts character cards that belong to both the undeleted group ID of the extracted first classification and each group ID of the second classification as character cards to be lottery target. do.

Similarly, the determining unit 337 deletes group IDs other than the group ID to which the character card selected by the selecting unit 335 belongs from the second classification of lottery target groups on the player table. Furthermore, in the next lottery, the selection unit 335 selects the remaining group IDs of the first category, the group IDs of the second category, and the third group IDs corresponding to the players from the lottery target groups on the player table in the next lottery. Extract each group ID of the classification. The selection unit 335 refers to the lottery target group table and selects the extracted group IDs of the first category that have not been deleted, the group IDs that have not been deleted of the second category, and the group IDs of the third category. Character cards belonging to all are extracted as character cards to be drawn. In this way, the determining unit 337 narrows down the character cards to be drawn each time the drawing is repeated.

In this case, in the next lottery game, only the character cards associated with the group to which the selected character card belongs will be subject to lottery, making it possible to significantly change the character cards to be drawn in the next lottery game. . As a result, the probability of winning a character card that belongs to the same group as the character card obtained in the lottery is dramatically increased, so if a player obtains the desired character card in the lottery, the next lottery game It is possible to sufficiently improve the player's expectations for acquiring the character card, and to improve the player's desire to continue participating in the lottery. In this case, character cards to be drawn in the next lottery may be character cards belonging to each group of the two most recently extracted classifications. For example, first, in the first lottery, the selection unit 335 reads character card IDs to be lottery targets belonging to all group IDs of the first classification, and selects one character card ID from among the read character card IDs. do. Next, in the second lottery, the determining unit 337 deletes group IDs other than the group ID to which the character card selected in the first lottery by the selecting unit 335 belongs from the first classification of the lottery target groups on the player table. do. The selection unit 335 selects the character cards that belong to both the group IDs of the first category that have not been deleted and the group IDs of the second category extracted from the lottery target groups on the player table for the second time from the lottery target group table. Extracted as a character card to be drawn. Note that the group ID of the first classification that remains without being deleted is the group ID to which the character card selected by the selection unit 335 in the first lottery belongs. Next, in the third lottery, the determining unit 337 deletes group IDs other than the group ID to which the character card selected in the second lottery by the selecting unit 335 belongs from the second classification of the lottery target groups on the player table. do. The selection unit 335 extracts the character cards belonging to both the undeleted group ID of the second classification extracted from the lottery target group of the player table and each group ID of the third classification from the lottery target group table for the third time. Extracted as a character card to be drawn. Thereby, it becomes possible for the player to determine whether or not to perform the next lottery based on the result of the character card obtained by the lottery.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation sequence related to the lottery game process of the game system 1. This operation sequence is performed mainly by the terminal processing section 25 and the server processing section 33 in cooperation with each element of the mobile terminal 2 and the server 3 based on programs stored in the terminal storage section 22 and server storage section 32 in advance. and executed.

First, when the player presses the lottery game button 502 using the operation unit 23 with the home screen 500 displayed on the display unit 24 of the mobile terminal 2, the browsing execution unit 251 of the mobile terminal 2 A lottery game screen request is sent to the server 3 via (step S101). When the progress control unit 332 of the server 3 receives a lottery game screen request from the mobile terminal 2, the display data output unit 333 executes a lottery game screen display data creation process (step S102). Details of the lottery game screen display data creation process will be described later.

Next, the progress control unit 332 transmits the display data created by the lottery game screen display data creation process to the mobile terminal 2 (step S103). When display data is received from the server 3 via the terminal communication unit 21, the viewing execution unit 251 of the mobile terminal 2 creates drawing data based on the received display data and displays the lottery game screen 510 on the display unit 24. (Step S104).

Next, when the player presses the lottery button 512 using the operation unit 23 while the lottery game screen 510 is displayed on the display unit 24 of the mobile terminal 2, the viewing execution unit 251 of the mobile terminal 2 21 to the server 3 (step S105). When the progress control unit 332 of the server 3 receives a lottery request from the mobile terminal 2, the selection unit 335, the association unit 336, and the determination unit 337 execute a lottery process (step S106). Details of the lottery process will be described later.

Next, the display data output unit 333 calculates the next winning probability and creates display data for displaying the obtained character card given to the player through the lottery process and a lottery result screen 520 representing the calculated next winning probability. (Step S107). Next, the progress control unit 332 transmits the display data created by the display data output unit 333 to the mobile terminal 2 (step S108). When display data is received from the server 3 via the terminal communication unit 21, the viewing execution unit 251 of the mobile terminal 2 creates drawing data based on the received display data and displays the lottery result screen 520 on the display unit 24. (Step S109). With this, the operation sequence related to the lottery game process ends.

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of the operational flow of lottery game screen display data creation processing by the display data output unit 333. The lottery game screen display data creation process shown in FIG. 9 is executed in step S102 of FIG.

First, the display data output unit 333 calculates the probability of winning for each group to be randomly selected based on the player ID, player table, and lottery target group table included in the lottery game screen request (step S201). Next, the display data output unit 333 creates lottery game screen display data based on the calculated winning probability for each group (step S202), and ends the series of steps.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the operation flow of lottery processing by the selection unit 335, the association unit 336, and the determination unit 337. The lottery process shown in FIG. 10 is executed in step S106 of FIG.

First, the selection unit 335 identifies the first group ID of the lottery target group from the player table based on the player ID included in the lottery request. The selection unit 335 extracts the card IDs of the character cards associated with all the identified first group IDs from the lottery target group table, and randomly selects one character card from among all the character cards with equal probability. (Step S301). Next, the association unit 336 gives the character card selected by the selection unit 335 to the player by adding it to the owned card information on the player table (step S302).

Next, the determining unit 337 refers to the lottery target group table and identifies the group to which the character card determined by the selecting unit 335 belongs (step S303). Next, the determining unit 337 deletes the group ID associated with the identified group from the lottery target groups on the player table (step S304), and ends the series of steps.

As explained above, the server 3 can significantly change the game content to be selected for the next lottery on a group-by-group basis depending on the result of the selection of the game content. It becomes possible to improve the player's sense of expectation. In addition, by repeating the lottery game, the player can change the lottery target of the desired character card, so that the player can get a sense of developing the lottery game.

Furthermore, in the game system 1 of the present embodiment, a character card belonging to the same group as the group to which the character card acquired by lottery belongs cannot be acquired in the next lottery. Therefore, the player's interest in the lottery game increases, and it becomes possible to increase the continuity of the lottery game.

FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of a lottery game provided by the game system 1 in another embodiment. In this embodiment, panels that correspond to each of the character cards to be drawn and that can be selected by the player are displayed on the lottery game screen, and the character card that corresponds to the panel pressed by the player is selected. A panel is an example of an object displayed corresponding to a character card.

In the example shown in FIG. 11, character cards to be drawn are classified into a plurality of groups (group A, group B, group C, and group D) each including four character cards. Group A is a group of low rarity cards, and group A includes four low rarity cards (character cards A, B, C, and D). Group B is a group of medium rarity cards, and includes four medium rarity cards (character cards E, F, G, and H). Group C is a group of high rarity cards, and group C includes four high rarity cards (character cards I, J, K, and L). Group D is a group of high rarity cards similar to group C, and includes four high rarity cards (character cards M, N, O, and P).

In this embodiment, when a lottery game is executed, a panel corresponding to each character card is displayed. Each panel is randomly arranged in each column in a display frame 1102 having a display column 1101 (for example, 4 columns x 4 rows), and each panel has a different character card for each group to which the corresponding character card belongs. The display color is set. In this way, each panel is displayed so that the player cannot determine which character it corresponds to. When a lottery game using this panel is executed, the panel corresponding to the group to which the character card selected in the lottery game belongs is displayed so that it cannot be selected from then on.

FIG. 12A is a diagram showing an example of a lottery game screen displayed on the display unit 24 of the mobile terminal 2.

The lottery game screen 1200 shown in FIG. 12(a) is displayed when the lottery game button 502 is pressed on the home screen 500 shown in FIG. 5(a). A panel 1201, a return button 1202, and the like are displayed on the lottery game screen 1200. Note that the winning probability 511 shown in FIG. 5(b) may be displayed on the lottery game screen 1200.

When any one of the plurality of panels 1201 is pressed, a lottery is executed and a screen for displaying the lottery results is displayed. When the return button 1202 is pressed, the home screen 500 is displayed again.

FIG. 12(b) is a diagram showing an example of a lottery result screen displayed on the display unit 24.

The lottery result screen 1210 shown in FIG. 12(b) is displayed when the panel 1201 is pressed on the lottery game screen 1200 and the lottery game is executed. The lottery result screen 1210 displays a panel 1211, an image 1212 of the acquired character card, a name 1213, a lottery game button 1214, and the like.

The obtained character card is a character card corresponding to the panel 1201 pressed on the lottery game screen 1200. The image and name of the acquired character card are displayed as the image 1212 and name 1213. When the lottery game button 1214 is pressed, a screen for displaying a lottery game screen is displayed. Note that the lottery result screen 1210 may also display the group 522 to which the acquired character card belongs, the next winning probability 523, and the return button 525 shown in FIG. 5(c).

FIG. 12(c) is a diagram showing an example of a lottery game screen displayed on the display unit 24.

The lottery game screen 1220 shown in FIG. 12(c) is displayed when the lottery game button 1214 is pressed on the lottery result screen 1210. On the lottery game screen 1220, panels 1221 to 1225, a back button 1226, etc. are displayed. Note that the winning probability 511 shown in FIG. 5(b) may also be displayed on the lottery game screen 1220.

On the lottery game screen 1220, a panel 1221 corresponding to an acquired character card and panels 1222, 1223, and 1224 corresponding to character cards belonging to the same group as the acquired character card belong to other panels so that the player cannot specify them. Displayed in a different color than the panel. On the other hand, a panel (for example, panel 1225) corresponding to a character card that does not belong to the group to which the acquired character card belongs is displayed in the same state as shown in FIG. 12(b) so that the player can specify it. Note that the panels 1221 to 1224 may be displayed smaller than the other panels so that they can be distinguished from the other panels. This allows each player to more easily identify selectable panels.

In this embodiment, the display data output unit 333 creates display data for displaying the lottery game screen 1200, the lottery result screen 1210, and the lottery game screen 1220, and passes the created display data to the progress control unit 332. The display data output unit 333 creates display data so that panels corresponding to character cards belonging to a group different from the group to be drawn are displayed in such a way that they cannot be selected.

Thereby, the player can visually recognize the situation in which the number of character cards to be selected as lottery targets decreases dramatically on a group-by-group basis depending on the lottery results, and can improve interest in the lottery game.

Note that what is associated with each panel may not be a character card, but a small group to which a plurality of character cards belong. In that case, when a panel is specified by the player, the selection unit 335 identifies a small group corresponding to that panel, and randomly selects a specific character card from among the character cards belonging to the small group with equal probability. select.

In that case, after a panel is specified on the lottery game screen 1200, the server 3 does not directly display the lottery result screen 1210, but displays information (for example, rarity) regarding the small group corresponding to the specified panel, and A screen (not shown) displaying a lottery button may be displayed once. As a result, when the player selects a panel corresponding to a small group to which a high-value character card belongs, the player can further improve his or her expectations for the lottery, thereby increasing the player's interest in the lottery game.

Further, the selection unit 335 specifies the character card corresponding to the panel specified by the player based on the card ID of the character card included in the lottery request, and instructs the association unit 336 to give the specified character card to the player. .

In addition, when the lottery processing is executed multiple times and all the information on the lottery target group ID on the player table is deleted, the determining unit 337 may reset the character card to be lottery target to the initial state. Thereby, the lottery game can be continued without interruption.

Further, the determining unit 337 may limit the number of times the character card to be selected for lottery is changed. In that case, when the number of times of lottery processing exceeds a predetermined number (for example, three times), the determining unit 337 does not change the character card to be selected for lottery in subsequent lottery processing. As a result, the player can have a new enjoyment of deciding whether or not to repeat the lottery based on whether or not the character card desired by the user is included in the lottery target by a predetermined number of times of lottery.

Further, the display data output unit 333 may create display data so that the winning probability 511 and the next winning probability 523 are displayed as a gauge. In that case, when the winning probability and the next winning probability exceed a certain value (for example, 50%), the display data output unit 333 lights up the gauges related to the winning probability 511 and the next winning probability 523, increases the brightness, displays an animation, etc. The display mode may be changed to This improves the visibility of the winning probability of character cards belonging to each group, and makes it easier to determine whether to continue the lottery game.

Further, the determining unit 337 may change the number of groups or character cards to be deleted or added from the lottery target groups on the player table, depending on the player level or the number of related player IDs stored on the player table. In that case, the determining unit 337 deletes or adds more groups or character cards as the player level or the number of related players increases. Each player can increase the player level or the number of related players so that the lottery target changes dramatically in the lottery game, so that the main game and communication between the players can be activated.

Moreover, the server 3 may share the character cards to be selected for lottery among related players. In that case, when a player executes a lottery, the server 3 causes each player's mobile terminal 2 to display a screen for selecting that player or a related player of that player. Then, the server 3 executes a lottery for the lottery target group corresponding to the selected player, and updates the lottery target group corresponding to the selected player according to the lottery result. By doing so, it is possible to cooperate with related players in the lottery game, and the interest is further improved.

Further, the main game execution unit 334 may award a benefit to the player in the main game when the number of lottery executions in the lottery game reaches a predetermined number. For example, the main game execution unit 334 provides game media such as items and character cards used in the main game to the player as a benefit. Alternatively, the main game execution unit 334 may make the game points given to the player in the main game larger than the points normally given as a benefit. As a result, each player executes the lottery game more frequently so that the main game can progress more advantageously, so that the entire game can be energized.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, another game different from the main game is described as a lottery game, but the game is not limited to a lottery game, and can be any type of game as long as it is a game in which a specific game medium is selected. It may be.

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

Further, each function of the server processing section 33 described above may be executed by the terminal processing section 25 of the mobile terminal 2. In this case, if the player table, card table, and lottery target group table are stored in the terminal storage unit 22, there is no need to communicate with the server 3 every time processing is performed, and the above functions can be realized only with the mobile terminal 2. is also possible. Furthermore, 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 on a part of the processing.
