Description

The present invention relates to a game program, a game processing method, and an information processing device.

In so-called online games played on terminal devices connected to a network, content such as characters and items that can be used in the game is provided to users by a method that uses chance to determine the type of content. A lottery game called `` is known.

As an example of such a gacha, for example, Patent Document 1 describes a so-called step-up gacha in which the more a player executes a gacha, the higher the probability of winning content of high game value (rarity) increases. In this step-up gacha, the number of rounds increases by 1 each time the gacha is executed, and the number of rounds increases by 1 each time the number reaches the upper limit. The winning probability of high-rarity content is set to increase as the number of rounds increases.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<1. Overall configuration of game system>
An example of the overall configuration of a game system 1 according to this embodiment will be described using FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the game system 1 includes a plurality of terminal devices 3 (only one is shown in FIG. 1) operated by a plurality of players, and a server device 5. Each terminal device 3 and the server device 5 are communicably connected via a network NW such as a LAN or the Internet, for example. Note that the network NW may be wireless or wired. Further, although the server device 5 is configured with a single computer in FIG. 1, it may be configured with a plurality of computers.

The terminal device 3 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet computer, a portable game machine, or the like. However, the computer is not limited to these, and may be, for example, a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a stationary game machine, or the like. The terminal device 3 has a touch panel 7 on which various displays and various input operations are performed by the player. The player performs a desired operation input by touching the touch panel 7 with a finger, pen, or the like.

The detection method of the touch panel 7 is not particularly limited, but various detection methods such as a resistive film method, a capacitance method, an optical method, and an electromagnetic induction method can be employed. Note that, in addition to the touch panel 7, the terminal device 3 may include input units such as buttons, switches, levers, joysticks, and the like. The terminal device 3 also includes an audio output unit such as a speaker.

The server device 5 (an example of an information processing device) is a so-called server computer. The server device 5 accepts access via the network NW from the terminal device 3 of each player receiving the game service, stores and manages game information of each player in a recording device, and transmits the network information to the terminal device 3 of each player. We provide online game services via NW.

In the form of game service provided by the server device 5, a game program (also referred to as application software) is installed in the server device 5, and the game is not executed on the terminal device 3, but is executed by the player on the terminal device 3. There is a mode in which the server device 5 executes the game in response to an operation input, and the execution results are transmitted to the terminal device 3 of each player. For example, the server device 5 may provide a so-called browser game in which the game can be played using a web browser installed in the terminal device 3 of each player. Further, the server device 5 may provide a so-called cloud game in which a game image resulting from the game executed by the server device 5 is transmitted to the terminal device 3 in a streaming format, for example. Alternatively, even if the server device 5 provides a so-called social game that is executed by application software created based on an operating environment such as an API (application programming interface) that operates on a web browser in a SNS (social networking service). good. Note that a part of the game program may be installed on the terminal device 3 so that not only the server device 5 but also the terminal device 3 partially executes the game process.

<2. Server functional configuration>
Next, an example of the functional configuration of the server device 5 will be described using FIG. 2.

In the following, we will refer to a lottery game in which content such as characters (including character cards, etc.) and items that can be used in the game are provided to players by a method in which the type of content is determined using chance. It's called "gacha". Gacha itself may be executed as a standalone game, or may be executed on top of games of various genres, such as role-playing games, simulation games, action games, etc.

As shown in FIG. 2, the server device 5 includes a content database 9, a first lottery section 11, a period determination section 13, a lottery determination section 15, and a second lottery section 17.

The content database 9 records information such as the lineup of content provided in the gacha executed by the server device 5, the probability of winning, and the required consideration. "Content" refers to game characters (including character cards, etc.) and items (for example, weapons, armor, equipment, virtual currency, articles with various effects, tools, etc.) that can be used in various games. Note that the content may be classified into types depending on the value within the game.

In this embodiment, a gacha consisting of multiple steps is executed. After the gacha is executed in one step, the process moves to the next step in a preset order, and the gacha is executed in the transferred step. This kind of gacha is also called step-up gacha. The gacha of this embodiment is composed of, for example, two steps, starting from the first step and moving to the second step. Note that the number of steps may be three or more.

Information such as the lineup of contents provided in the gacha, winning probabilities, and required consideration are set for each step, and the winning probabilities corresponding to each step are recorded in the content database 9. Note that the above information for each step may be managed as separate tables that are independent for each step, or may be managed as a common table so as to be changed for each step.

The "winning probability" includes the type winning probability set for each of the multiple types in which multiple contents eligible for lottery are classified, and the content winning probability set for each content classified by each type. There is. The "type" is a type set for classifying each content according to its value within the game (rarity, ability, efficacy value, etc.). The types are not particularly limited, but in this embodiment, they are classified into three types: "★1 (normal)", "★2 (rare)", and "★3 (super rare)". A case will be explained as an example. The sum of the winning probabilities of each content classified into one type matches the winning probability of the corresponding one type, and the sum of the winning probabilities of all types is 100% (see Figures 4 and 7 below). reference).

The "necessary consideration" is the consideration required from the player to execute the gacha of each step. "Consideration" is, for example, virtual value (points, virtual currency, consumable items, etc.) that can be acquired or consumed in a game, and is expressed as a numerical value or quantity based on a predetermined unit. The virtual value may be obtained free of charge, such as something that the player obtains as a reward for clearing a predetermined quest or mission, or something that is distributed by the operator of an online game, or a It may also be acquired for a fee through a purchasing procedure. The required consideration may be a predetermined amount of paid or free virtual value, or may be 0 (no need to consume virtual value).

The first lottery unit 11 executes a first gacha (an example of a first lottery), which is a first step gacha in a step-up gacha, based on a player's request. At this time, the first lottery unit 11 executes the first gacha by consuming a preset amount of virtual value. The virtual value to be consumed may be a paid virtual value or a free virtual value. In the first gacha, a predetermined number of contents are selected from a plurality of contents based on winning probabilities preset for each of the plurality of contents, and the selected predetermined number of contents are given to the player. The first gacha may be a so-called continuous gacha, in which multiple gachas are executed in succession in response to a single request from the player, or may be a single-shot gacha, in which gacha is executed once in response to a single request from the player. . The number of consecutive shots is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 5, 10, 20, etc. The "predetermined number" is a number greater than or equal to 1, and is 1 for a single gacha, 5 for a 5-series gacha, 10 for a 10-series gacha, and 20 for a 20-series gacha. In this embodiment, an example will be described in which the first gacha is a paid 10-game gacha in which the player is charged a predetermined amount of money. The first lottery unit 11 provides the winning content of the first gacha to the player by associating the plurality of contents selected in the first gacha with the player who executed the first gacha.

The period determination unit 13 determines whether or not the player's request for execution of the first gacha is within a predetermined finite period. The "predetermined finite period" is, for example, the period after the player first accesses the gacha execution screen of this embodiment. Since the timing at which the gacha execution screen is first accessed differs depending on the player, the period determination unit 13 determines for each player whether or not it is within a predetermined finite period. Although the length of the period is not particularly limited, it may be set, for example, by the number of hours, days, weeks, months, etc. In this embodiment, a case where the predetermined period is 72 hours will be described as an example. The first lottery unit 11 allows execution of the first gacha when the period determination unit 13 determines that the player's request for the first gacha is within a predetermined period, and If it is determined that it is outside the period, the first gacha will not be executed.

The lottery determination unit 15 determines whether the request for execution of the first gacha made by the player is the first execution request by that player. The lottery determination unit 15 determines for each player whether or not the request for execution of the first gacha is the first time. The first lottery unit 11 allows execution of the first gacha when the lottery determination unit 15 determines that the request for execution of the first gacha is not the first time, and the first lottery unit 11 allows execution of the first gacha when it is determined by the lottery determination unit 15 that the request for execution of the first gacha is not the first time. In this case, the first gacha will not be executed. In other words, one player is allowed to execute the first gacha only once.

After executing the first gacha, the second lottery unit 17 executes a second gacha (an example of a second lottery), which is a second step gacha in the step-up gacha, based on a player's request. At this time, the second lottery unit 17 executes the second gacha without consuming the virtual value described above. That is, the second gacha is a free gacha that does not charge the player. Note that the second gacha may be a paid gacha. In the second gacha, a predetermined number of specific contents are selected from a plurality of specific contents based on a winning probability set in advance for each of the plurality of specific contents, and the selected predetermined number of specific contents are The player is given the right to execute the second gacha given to the player. That is, the second lottery section 17 executes the second gacha in a predetermined finite period when there is a request from a player to execute the first gacha or when the first lottery section 11 executes the first gacha. grant the player the right to

The "specific content" is content that is predetermined as the winning content of the second gacha, and is typically content that is classified into a type that has a relatively high value within the game. In the present embodiment, an example will be explained in which the content is classified into the highest value category of "★3 (super rare)". Note that the "specific content" may be content included in the first gacha's content lineup, or may be content exclusive to the second gacha that is not included in the first gacha's content lineup. In this embodiment, a case will be described as an example in which the specific content is content classified into the "★3 (super rare)" type included in the content lineup of the first gacha.

The "winning probability preset for each of a plurality of specific contents" is, for example, a winning probability set such that the "specific content" will win at a higher probability than the first gacha. In this embodiment, the total content winning probability of each content classified into the "★3 (Super Rare)" type, that is, the "★3 (Super Rare)" type winning probability is set to be 100%. . In other words, in the second gacha, one of the contents classified into the "★3 (super rare)" type is definitely selected.

The second gacha may be a so-called single-shot gacha in which one gacha is executed in response to a single request from a player, or may be the above-mentioned continuous gacha. In the case of a single-shot gacha, the "predetermined number of specific contents" is one specific content, and in the case of a continuous gacha, it is a plurality of specific contents that match the number of consecutive shots. In this embodiment, a case where the second gacha is a single-shot gacha will be described as an example.

Based on the player's request after executing the first gacha, the second lottery unit 17 immediately consumes the right granted to the player to execute the second gacha after executing the first gacha and executes the second gacha. Good too. In this case, after the first gacha is executed by the player's requested operation, the second gacha is executed consecutively by the player's next requested operation. Note that after the first gacha is executed, the second gacha may be executed without any operation by the player. Further, the second gacha may be executed on the screen after the first gacha is executed or on the next screen. Further, the second lottery unit 17 may give the player a virtual item (for example, a gacha ticket, etc.) that, when used by the player, allows the player to execute the second gacha at any timing, as the right to execute the second gacha. . In this case, the player can execute the second gacha using the virtual item at any timing. The player can use the virtual item, for example, on a gacha selection screen for selecting a gacha to execute, a game screen after executing the second gacha, or the like. The second lottery unit 17 provides the winning content of the second gacha to the player by associating a predetermined number of specific contents selected in the second gacha with the player who executed the second gacha.

Note that the processing etc. in each processing unit explained above is not limited to the example of the division of processing, and may be processed by an even smaller number of processing units (for example, one processing unit), for example. Further, the processing may be performed by further subdivided processing units. Furthermore, the functions of each of the processing units described above are implemented by a game program executed by a CPU 501 (see FIG. 13), which will be described later. It may also be implemented by an actual device such as a circuit. Furthermore, each of the processing units described above is not limited to the case where all of them are installed on the server device 5 side, and some or all of them may be installed on the terminal device 3 side.

<3. Contents of step-up gacha＞
Next, an example of the contents of the step-up gacha according to the present embodiment will be explained using FIGS. 3 to 8.

(3-1. Game screen of the first gacha)
FIG. 3 shows an example of the first gacha game screen displayed on the touch panel 7 at the start of the step-up gacha. In the example shown in FIG. 3, a gacha execution button 21 and a gacha end button 23 are displayed on the game screen 19, and various information is also displayed.

At the top of the game screen 19, the title of the step-up gacha (in this example, "72 hours limited ★ 3 character confirmed gacha") is displayed, and below it is a step display section 25 that shows which step of the gacha it is. is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 3, it is displayed that it is a first step gacha.

Below the step display section 25, a message asking the player whether or not to execute the first gacha (10 consecutive gachas in the example shown in FIG. 3) to be executed in the first step and a required compensation (shown in FIG. 3) are displayed. In the example, an information display section 27 that displays information such as "3000 paid stones"), a gacha execution button 21, and a gacha end button 23 are displayed.

At the bottom of the game screen 19, the probability of winning by type is displayed for each type of content of the first gacha. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the content is classified into three types: "★1 (normal)," "★2 (rare)," and "★3 (super rare)." In this example, the winning probability of the type "★1 (normal)" is 80%, which is the highest, that is, it is set to have the lowest value. Further, the winning probability of the category "★3 (super rare)" is the lowest at 5%, and is therefore set to have the highest value. Further, the winning probability of "★2 (rare)" is 15%, that is, the value is set between "★1 (normal)" and "★3 (super rare)".

In addition, when the player performs a predetermined operation, the lineup of all contents provided by the first gacha and the content winning probability of each content are individually displayed separately from the game screen 19 (Fig. 4(a) to 4(c)).

Further, the number of content types is not limited to three, and may be two, for example, or four or more. Further, the name of the type is not limited to the above, and other names such as "ultra rare", "legend", "five star", etc. may be used.

(3-2. Probability of winning the first gacha)
FIGS. 4(a) to 4(c) show examples of winning probabilities for the content of the first gacha. FIG. 4(a) individually shows the content winning probability for all the content classified as "★1 (normal)". In the example shown in FIG. 4(a), the content winning probabilities are individually displayed for 40 pieces of content N-1 to N-40. The sum of the content winning probabilities of all individually displayed contents is set to be equal to the type winning probability of "★1 (normal)" (80% in this example). Note that in this example, the content winning probability for each content is set to be equal (80%/40=2%), but it may be set to be different for each content.

Further, FIG. 4(b) individually shows the content winning probability for all the content classified as "★2 (rare)". In the example shown in FIG. 4(b), the content winning probabilities are individually displayed for 10 pieces of content R-1 to R-10. The sum of the content winning probabilities of all individually displayed contents is set to be equal to the type winning probability of "★2 (rare)" (15% in this example). Note that in this example, the content winning probability for each content is set to be equal (15%/10=1.5%), but it may be set to be different for each content.

Moreover, FIG. 4(c) individually shows the content winning probability for all the content classified as "★3 (super rare)". In the example shown in FIG. 4(c), the content winning probabilities are individually displayed for five pieces of content SR-1 to SR-5. The sum of the content winning probabilities of all individually displayed contents is set to be equal to the type winning probability of "★3 (Super Rare)" (5% in this example). Note that in this example, the content winning probability for each content is set to be equal (5%/5=1%), but it may be set to be different for each content.

Returning to FIG. 3, when the gacha execution button 21 is operated by the player, the payment of the necessary consideration (automatic reduction of the consideration held by the player at that time) is automatically executed, and the 10 consecutive gachas based on the winning probability are automatically executed. is executed. On the other hand, when the player operates the gacha end button 23, the step-up gacha is ended without executing the first gacha.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a screen showing the execution result of the first gacha. As shown in FIG. 5, ten pieces of content are given to the player by executing the ten consecutive gacha. In the example shown in FIG. 5, for example, seven contents N-33, N-40, N-5, N-2, N-16, N-18, N-29 of "★1 (normal)" and " ★2 (Rare)'' three contents R-7, R-3, and R-5 are provided. Note that the second gacha is executed regardless of the execution result of the first gacha. For example, even if at least one content with the highest rarity "★3 (super rare)" is won in the first gacha, the second gacha is executed. Furthermore, the lineup, winning probability, and required consideration for the second gacha do not change depending on the execution result of the first gacha. For example, even if at least one content with the highest rarity "★3 (super rare)" is won in the first gacha, the second gacha is executed according to a preset lineup, winning probability, and required consideration.

(3-3. Second gacha game screen)
FIG. 6 shows an example of the game screen 29 of the second gacha displayed on the touch panel 7 after the first gacha is executed.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, the step display section 31 displays that it is a second step gacha. In addition, the information display unit 33 displays a message asking the player whether or not to execute the second gacha (displayed as "bonus gacha" in the example shown in FIG. 6) to be executed in the second step, and a message indicating the required consideration. It is shown to be free.

At the bottom of the game screen 29, the probability of winning by type is displayed for each type of content of the second gacha. In the example shown in Figure 6, the probability of winning for the category "★3 (Super Rare)" is 100%, and the probability of winning for the other categories "★1 (Normal)" and "★2 (Rare)" is 0%. It is. Note that if it is displayed that "★3 (super rare)" will definitely be selected, the display of the winning probability may be omitted.

(3-4. Probability of winning the second gacha)
FIG. 7 shows an example of the winning probability of the content of the second gacha. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the content winning probabilities are individually displayed for five pieces of content SR-1 to SR-5. The sum of the content winning probabilities of all individually displayed contents is set to be equal to the type winning probability of "★3 (Super Rare)" (100% in this example). Note that in this example, the content winning probability for each content is set to be equal (100%/5=20%), but it may be set to be different for each content.

In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 7, the case where the content lineup of the second gacha is extracted from "★3 (super rare)" included in the content lineup of the first gacha, but this The content is not limited to this, and part or all of it may be replaced with content exclusive to the second gacha that is not included in the content of the first gacha. Alternatively, the content lineups of the first gacha and the second gacha may be completely the same, and only the winning probability may be varied without changing the lineup.

Returning to FIG. 6, when the player operates the gacha execution button 21, the second gacha is executed based on the winning probability. On the other hand, when the player operates the gacha end button 23, the step-up gacha is ended without executing the second gacha.

FIG. 8 shows an example of a screen showing the execution result of the second gacha. As shown in FIG. 8, one piece of content is given to the player by executing the second gacha, which is a one-shot gacha. In the example shown in FIG. 8, for example, content SR-5 of "★3 (super rare)" is assigned. In this example, although the type of "★3 (super rare)" has been determined, it is not known which content among them will win. Therefore, as another example, a specific designated content (for example, SR-1, etc.) may be definitely selected. Moreover, the second gacha is not limited to a single shot, but may be repeated. In this case, for example, multiple pieces of "★3 (Super Rare)" content may be given to the player, or for example, at least one "★3 (Super Rare)" content may be combined with other types of content. It may also be given to the player.

<4. Server processing procedure>
Next, an example of a processing procedure executed by the CPU 501 of the server device 5 will be described using FIG. The server device 5 individually executes the process shown in FIG. 9 for each player (terminal device 3).

In step S5, the server device 5 displays the game screen of the first gacha, which is the first step gacha of the step-up gacha, on the terminal device 3 based on the player accessing the game screen of the step-up gacha of this embodiment. displayed on the touch panel 7.

In step S<b>10 , the server device 5 determines whether or not the player has requested the execution of the 10 consecutive gacha, which is the first gacha, and specifically, whether or not the gacha execution button 21 has been pressed on the game screen 19 . If the player does not request execution of the 10 consecutive gacha (step S10: NO), the server device 5 ends this flowchart. On the other hand, if a request to execute 10 consecutive gachas is made (step S10: YES), the process moves to the next step S15.

In step S15, the server device 5 uses the period determination unit 13 to determine whether or not the player's request to execute the first gacha is within a predetermined period. Specifically, the period determination unit 13 starts counting the period from the time when the step-up gacha game screen is first displayed to the player in step S5, and counts the period from the time when the game screen of the step-up gacha is first displayed to the player in step S10 (YES determination). It is determined whether the request is within a predetermined period. If the execution request for the first gacha is outside the predetermined period (step S15: NO), the server device 5 ends this flowchart. On the other hand, if the first gacha execution request is within the predetermined period (step S15: YES), the server device 5 moves to the next step S20.

In step S20, the server device 5 uses the lottery determination unit 15 to determine whether the request for execution of the first gacha made by the player is the first execution request by the player. If the execution request for the first gacha is not the first time (step S20: NO), this flowchart ends. On the other hand, if the execution request for the first gacha is for the first time (step S20: YES), the process moves to the next step S25.

In step S25, the server device 5 causes the first lottery unit 11 to consume a predetermined amount of paid virtual value to execute a 10-sequence gacha.

In step S30, the server device 5 causes the first lottery unit 11 to award ten winning contents, which are the results of the ten consecutive gachas executed in step S25, to the player.

In step S35, the server device 5 displays the game screen of the second gacha, which is the second step gacha of the step-up gacha, on the touch panel 7 of the terminal device 3.

In step S40, the server device 5 determines whether or not the player has requested execution of the bonus gacha, which is the second gacha, specifically, whether or not the gacha execution button 21 has been pressed on the game screen 29. If the player does not request execution of the bonus gacha (step S40: NO), the server device 5 ends this flowchart. On the other hand, if a request to execute the bonus gacha is made (step S40: YES), the process moves to the next step S45.

In step S45, the server device 5 causes the second lottery unit 17 to execute a one-shot bonus gacha for free without consuming virtual value.

In step S50, the server device 5 causes the second lottery unit 17 to award one winning content, which is the result of the bonus gacha executed in step S45, to the player. With the above, this flowchart ends.

Note that the above-mentioned processing procedure is an example, and at least a part of the above-mentioned procedure may be deleted or changed, or a procedure other than the above-mentioned procedure may be added. Furthermore, the order of at least part of the above steps may be changed. For example, instead of moving the above step S35 after the above step S45 and displaying the results of the 10 consecutive gacha before the execution of the bonus gacha, the results of the 10 consecutive gacha and the bonus gacha are displayed after the execution of the 10 consecutive gacha and the bonus gacha. The results may also be displayed. At this time, the results of 10 consecutive gachas and the results of bonus gacha may be displayed separately as shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, or the results of 10 consecutive gachas and bonus gachas may be displayed together without being separated.

<5. Effects of embodiment>
As explained above, in this embodiment, after the first gacha is executed in which a predetermined number of contents are selected from a plurality of contents based on a preset probability of winning based on a request from the player and are given to the player. , the player is granted the right to execute a second gacha in which a predetermined number of specific contents are selected from a plurality of specific contents based on a preset winning probability and are provided to the player. Thereby, the player can definitely obtain specific content through the second gacha just by executing the first gacha. Therefore, the player's desire to play the gacha can be increased, and the execution of the gacha can be promoted.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, in particular, based on the player's request after the first gacha is executed, the right granted to the player to execute the second gacha is consumed immediately after the first gacha is executed, and the second gacha is executed. . Thereby, the player can acquire the content won in the first gacha and the specific content won in the second gacha at the same time.

Further, in this embodiment, in particular, as the right to execute the second gacha, a virtual item (for example, a gacha ticket, etc.) that can be used by the player to execute the second gacha at any timing may be given to the player. . In this case, the player can acquire specific content by executing the second gacha at any timing. For example, in a case where specific content has an expiration date, it is possible to adjust the timing of acquiring the specific content by taking the expiration date into consideration.

<6. Variations, etc.>
Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and technical idea thereof.

(1) When the executable period of the first gacha can be extended By executing a gacha different from the first gacha and second gacha mentioned above, the executable period of the first gacha can be extended. It's okay. The details of this modification will be explained using FIGS. 10 to 12.

FIG. 10 shows an example of the functional configuration of the server device 5 according to this modification. Note that in FIG. 10, the same parts as in FIG. As shown in FIG. 10, the server device 5 includes, in addition to the first lottery section 11, period determination section 13, lottery determination section 15, and second lottery section 17 described above, a third lottery section 35 and a period extension section 37. and has.

Based on a player's request, the third lottery unit 35 consumes a preset amount of virtual value to select less than a predetermined number of contents from a plurality of contents based on a predetermined winning probability, and A third gacha (an example of a third lottery) is executed in which the content of is given to the player. The virtual value to be consumed may be a paid virtual value or a free virtual value. Furthermore, the quantity of virtual value required to execute the third gacha (an example of the first quantity) is set to be smaller than the quantity of virtual value required to execute the first gacha (an example of the second quantity). ing. That is, the first lottery unit 11 consumes a preset amount of virtual value to be greater than the amount of virtual value required to execute the third gacha to play the first gacha, based on the player's request. Execute. Note that the quantity of virtual value required to execute the third gacha may be determined according to the length of the extension period described later, or may include 0.

The "multiple contents" may be common to the content lineup of the first gacha, or part or all of them may be content exclusive to the third gacha that is not included in the content lineup of the first gacha. The "predetermined winning probability" may be the same winning probability as the first gacha, or may be a different winning probability from the first gacha. The "predetermined number" is a number of 2 or more. That is, the third gacha may be a single gacha or a continuous gacha. For example, the first gacha may be 10 consecutive gachas and the third gacha may be 5 consecutive gachas. In this embodiment, a case will be described as an example in which the third gacha is a paid single-shot gacha in which the player is charged a predetermined amount. The third lottery unit 35 provides the winning content of the third gacha to the player by associating the content less than the predetermined number selected in the third gacha with the player who executed the third gacha. In addition, when executing the first gacha, the second lottery unit 17 grants the player the right to execute the second gacha following the execution of the first gacha, but when executing the third gacha, the second lottery unit 17 grants the player the right to execute the second gacha following the execution of the first gacha. The player is not given the right to execute the second gacha following the execution of the third gacha.

The period extension unit 37 extends the above-mentioned "predetermined finite period" during which the first gacha can be executed when the third gacha is executed. If the third gacha is executed multiple times, the "predetermined finite period" is extended each time the third gacha is executed. The length of the extension period is not particularly limited, but may be set in hours, days, weeks, months, etc., depending on the unit of "predetermined finite period", for example. In this embodiment, a case where the period is extended by 10 hours per execution of the third gacha will be described as an example.

FIG. 11 shows an example of the game screen of the first gacha according to this modification. Note that in FIG. 11, the same parts as those in FIG. As shown in FIG. 11, the game screen 19 includes a step display section 25, an information display section 27, a gacha execution button 21, a gacha end button 23, and a winning probability display, as well as a remaining time display section 39. An extension button 41 is displayed.

The remaining time display section 39 displays the remaining period during which the first gacha can be executed. In the example shown in FIG. 11, the period during which the first gacha can be executed is 72 hours, and the remaining time is 12 hours. The player refers to the remaining time display section 39 and operates the extension button 41 if the player wishes to extend the remaining time. When the player operates the extension button 41, a third gacha game screen 43 shown in FIG. 12 is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 12, the title of the third gacha (in this example, "extended period gacha") is displayed at the top of the game screen 43, and below it is an extension period display area 45 indicating the length of the extension period. is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 12, it is displayed that each execution of the third gacha will be extended by 10 hours.

Below the extension period display section 45, there is a message asking the player whether or not to execute the third gacha, a required consideration (in the example shown in FIG. 12, "300 paid stones"), and a message indicating whether or not to execute the third gacha. An information display section 47 indicating information such as not proceeding to the second step, a gacha execution button 49, and a gacha end button 51 are displayed.

At the bottom of the game screen 43, the winning probability of each type of third gacha content is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the winning probability is the same as that of the first gacha shown in FIG. 3 described above, but the winning probability may be different from that of the first gacha.

When the gacha execution button 49 is operated by the player, the necessary consideration is automatically paid, the third gacha is executed based on the winning probability, and the remaining time is extended by 10 hours. The player may extend the period by 10 hours by executing the third gacha only once, or may extend the period by several tens of hours (10 hours x number of times) by executing the third gacha multiple times in succession. It's okay. On the other hand, if the player operates the gacha end button 51, the game returns to the step-up gacha game screen 19 without executing the third gacha.

According to the modification described above, even if the third gacha is executed, the second gacha cannot be executed unless the first gacha is executed, so the player is forced to consume a small amount of paid virtual value. It is possible to encourage the user to execute the first gacha by consuming a larger amount of paid virtual value than to execute the third gacha. Thereby, the player can be encouraged to pay a larger amount. In addition, for example, if a player is unsure about how to pay for the first gacha, the period can be extended by paying for the third gacha, which is cheaper than the first gacha, and the second gacha can be executed. It becomes possible to prolong life without losing opportunities.

(2) Others In the above, a case has been described in which a finite period during which the first gacha can be executed is set, but the period does not necessarily have to be set. Regardless of the period, if the player pays a predetermined fee and executes the first gacha, the second gacha may be executed. For example, a period may be set initially, and the period may be invalidated when the player pays a predetermined fee.

In addition, in the above, the first gacha and the second gacha can be executed only when the execution request by the player is for the first time, but the number of times that they can be executed does not have to be limited to once for each player, and can be executed two or more times. You can also use it as For example, the first gacha is limited to one time, and the first and second gachas may be released from the second time onwards when the player pays a predetermined fee.

Moreover, although the case where the step-up gacha is composed of two steps has been described above, it may be composed of three or more steps. For example, the first step may be a paid three-series gacha, the second step may be a paid five-series gacha, the third step may be a free bonus gacha, or the like.

Note that, in addition to the methods described above, the methods according to the above embodiments and each modification may be used in combination as appropriate. In addition, various changes may be made to the above-described embodiment and each modified example without departing from the spirit thereof, although no specific examples are given.

<7. Server hardware configuration>
Next, an example of the hardware configuration of the server device 5 that implements each processing unit implemented by the program executed by the CPU 501 described above will be described using FIG. 13. Note that the terminal device 3 may have a similar hardware configuration.

As shown in FIG. 13, the server device 5 includes, for example, a CPU 501, a ROM 503, a RAM 505, a GPU 506, a dedicated integrated circuit 507 built for a specific purpose such as an ASIC or FPGA, and an input device 513. , an output device 515, a recording device 517, a drive 519, a connection port 521, and a communication device 523. These configurations are connected to each other so as to be able to transmit signals via a bus 509, an input/output interface 511, and the like.

The game program can be recorded in, for example, a ROM 503, a RAM 505, a recording device 517 such as a hard disk, or the like.

Furthermore, the game program may be temporarily or permanently (non-temporarily) recorded on a removable recording medium 525 such as a magnetic disk such as a flexible disk, various CDs, an MO disk, an optical disk such as a DVD, or a semiconductor memory. You can also leave it as is. Such a recording medium 525 can also be provided as so-called package software. In this case, the game programs recorded on these recording media 525 may be read by the drive 519 and recorded on the recording device 517 via the input/output interface 511, the bus 509, or the like.

Further, the game program can also be recorded on, for example, a download site, another computer, another recording device, etc. (not shown). In this case, the game program is transferred via a network NW such as a LAN or the Internet, and the communication device 523 receives this program. The program received by the communication device 523 may be recorded in the recording device 517 via the input/output interface 511, the bus 509, or the like.

Further, the game program can also be recorded in an appropriate external connection device 527, for example. In this case, the game program may be transferred via an appropriate connection port 521 and recorded on the recording device 517 via the input/output interface 511, bus 509, or the like.

Then, the CPU 501 executes various processes according to the programs recorded in the recording device 517, thereby processing by the first lottery unit 11, the period determining unit 13, the lottery determining unit 15, the second lottery unit 17, etc. is realized. At this time, the CPU 501 may, for example, directly read the program from the recording device 517 and execute it, or may once load the program into the RAM 505 and then execute it. Furthermore, when the CPU 501 receives a program via the communication device 523, drive 519, or connection port 521, for example, the CPU 501 may directly execute the received program without recording it on the recording device 517.

In addition to signals input from the touch panel 7 of each terminal device 3 via the network NW, the CPU 501 also receives signals and information input from an input device 513 such as a mouse, keyboard, microphone, etc., as necessary. Various types of processing may also be performed.

The GPU 506 performs processing for image display, such as rendering processing, in response to instructions from the CPU 501.

Then, the CPU 501 and the GPU 506 output the results of executing the above processing to the touch panel 7 of each terminal device 3 via the network NW, and also output the result to the touch panel 7 of each terminal device 3 as necessary. ) is output from the output device 515. Further, the CPU 501 and the GPU 506 may transmit the processing results via the communication device 523 or the connection port 521, or may record them on the recording device 517 or the recording medium 525, if necessary.
