In addition, the representative item image 305 for the representative item may be displayed.

After opening the capsule machine use page as shown in FIG. 3, the user selects one or more of the desired capsule machines among the GMA 310, GMB 320, GMC 330, GMD 340, and GME 350. That is, when a part or all is selected and a payment request is made, the game server 110 checks information on the selected capsule machine and performs payment processing. Here, the payment process may be processed by using as many capsule coins as the number of capsules to be purchased (for example, the number of capsule machines selected) after purchasing the capsule coins.

After performing the payment process, the game server 110 extracts one capsule of a plurality of capsules corresponding to each capsule machine for each of the selected capsule machines, and immediately displays an item corresponding to the extracted capsule, or an inventory page. You can also allow users to check. A plurality of capsules corresponding to each capsule machine are set by the capsule manager 230, and may be preset before the user selects the capsule machine.

When the extracted capsule is a specific capsule corresponding to the representative item, the game server 110 may allow the user to check the representative item on a separate inventory page.

For example, when the user selects three

capsule machines

310, 320, 330 from a total of five capsule machines, and makes a payment request and proceeds with the payment process, the capsule machine management unit 210 selects three capsules selected by the user. Selected capsule machine information about the

machines

310, 320 and 330 and unselected capsule machine information about the remaining

capsule machines

340 and 350 except for this are generated.

Subsequently, by the item obtaining unit 240, one capsule per capsule machine is extracted for each of the three

capsule machines

310, 320, and 330 selected by the user. When the representative item is stored in the DB as an acquisition item, and a capsule other than a specific capsule is extracted, an item acquisition process of selecting one or more items other than the representative item among a plurality of items is performed and stored in the DB as an acquisition item.

In addition, simultaneously or sequentially with the item acquiring process by the item acquiring unit 240, the capsule for each of the remaining two

capsule machines

340 and 350 which are not selected by the user by the unselected capsule machine automatic extracting unit 250. One capsule per machine can be extracted. In this case, as a result of the extraction, when a specific capsule is extracted, a representative item corresponding to the specific capsule is displayed on the screen. When a capsule other than a specific capsule is extracted, one or more items other than the representative item are selected from among the plurality of items. The selected item is displayed on the screen.

In addition, when payment processing is performed according to the user's selection of the

capsule machines

310, 320, 330 and payment requests for a total of five capsule machines, the capsule manager 230 may be extracted before the extraction by the unselected capsule automatic extraction unit 250 is performed. By controlling the item extraction probability for the unselected remaining capsule machine (340, 350) may control the probability that the unselected capsule automatic extraction unit 250 displays the representative item on the screen as the extraction result of the remaining capsule machine (340, 350) . For example, the capsule manager 230 may refer to the selected capsule machine information and the unselected capsule machine information, and, for all capsule machines included in the remaining capsule machine, the number of specific items that can be set as a representative item among a plurality of items. By increasing or increasing the number of specific capsules corresponding to the representative item, the probability that the representative item is extracted and displayed on the screen by the unselected capsule automatic extraction unit 250 may be increased.

In this way, the automatic extraction result of the unselected capsule automatic extraction unit 250 of the remaining capsule machine not selected by the user is provided to the user through the screen, thereby increasing the probability that the representative item is extracted from the remaining capsule machine which is not selected by the user. When the user selects one or more capsule machines from a plurality of preset capsule machines, there is an effect that can be induced to select all capsule machines.

In another example, when a user selects all five

capsule machines

310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 from a total of five capsule machines, requests a payment, and proceeds with payment processing, the capsule machine management unit 210 generates five capsule machines. Selection capsule machine information regarding (310, 320, 330, 340, 350) is generated.

Thereafter, by the item obtaining unit 240, one capsule is extracted from each of the five

capsule machines

310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 selected by the user, and as a result of the extraction, if a specific capsule is extracted, a representative item corresponding to the specific capsule is obtained. In the DB, and if a capsule other than a specific capsule is extracted, one or more items other than the representative item among the plurality of items are selected and stored in the DB as an acquired item.

In this case, since there is no remaining capsule machine unselected by the user, the screen extraction of the extraction by the unselected capsule machine automatic extraction unit 250 and the extraction result thereof does not proceed.
