For example, the game control unit 203 draws on the game screen. Various information (icon image data, text data, etc.) is retrieved from game server 10. It provides features and functions that offer benefits.

[0029] Next, using the flowchart in Figure 5, the lottery of game media by game system 1 (ga Let me explain the flow of the chat.

[0030] First, the player operates terminal 20 to request a lottery for game media (step S10) 1) If a draw is held, players may use a designated item they possess as payment. Items are used. Items can be obtained by completing game missions or purchased with real money. It is possible to do such things.

[0031] When the game server 10 receives a lottery request, the lottery unit 111 will draw the game media A selection is made (step S102). In this embodiment, for example, 10 game media are selected in a single draw. The bodies are drawn together.

[0032] The game server 10 displays 10 game media drawn by lottery in the display unit 112. The body is displayed on the UI section 202 of terminal 20 (step S103). Figure 6 shows the UI section 202. This is an example of the screen that displays the lottery results. As shown in Figure 6, the winner Ten game media C1 to C10 will be displayed. The lottery results will also be confirmed and presented. Button B1 selects to obtain the 10 game items that are currently available, and to perform a re-draw. A button B2 will appear, allowing you to select it.

[0033] If the player selects re-draw by pressing button B2 (Step S104: YES), A screen will appear allowing you to specify the game media you wish to keep, as shown in Figure 7. (S105). The player selects the game media they want to reserve on the screen (for example, C1 and C2). Once you select and press the OK button, the specified game medium will be included in the redraw. It can be secured without any additional effort. The number of game media that can be specified (number of specified slots) is... It will be within the range of the specified number of slots for that player stored in the number management table 100c. The number of designated slots stored decreases by the number of game media specified by the player.

[0034] The game server 10, in the re-drawing unit 113, selects the game that the player has specified they want to reserve. For game media other than the designated media (C3-C10), the first re-draw (first re-draw) will be conducted. (Step S106). Note that the execution of the redraw also requires the consumption of a predetermined price. The rewards are items that are granted upon completing missions or obtained through in-app purchases. And so on. Additionally, designated slots for game media can be added by playing specific games or making in-app purchases. This is possible. The UI section 202 of terminal 20 contains the game media (C3~C10) before redrawing. Instead, the game media that was selected as a result of the re-draw is displayed (step S107).

[0035] The player then looks at the game screen after the redraw to confirm the lottery result, or to try again a second time. You can choose whether to hold a redraw (second redraw). Once the draw results are confirmed, The game media secured in the first round (2 items, C1 and C2) and the 8 game media won in the second round of the lottery. You can obtain it.

[0036] On the other hand, if the player operates terminal 20 and requests a second redraw (second redraw) ( Step S104: YES), Game Server 10 secures, just as in the first redraw. The system accepts the selection of the desired game medium (Step S105). At this time, the first re-draw will be conducted. The game media secured at that time may be allowed to retain the designation. Media C1 and C2 will also be included in the second re-draw, and any new games you want to secure When specifying a media, other game media (games drawn again in the first redraw) It may be possible to specify from among the media. Here too, the range of the number of slots specified for the player. It is possible to specify within the system. Furthermore, a minimum of one specified slot will be allocated for each redraw. If a ticket is not used during the lottery, it can be carried over to the next re-draw. That's good. For example, if you didn't make a selection in the first redraw, you'll carry over one unused slot. Furthermore, in the second redraw, it may be possible to allow selection of two slots.

[0037] The re-draw unit 113 selects the game medium (for example, C1) that was secured during the previous (first) re-draw. (and C2) and other game media specified this time (for example, C3 and C4) A second re-draw is performed for the body (step S106). The UI section 202 of terminal 20 is The game medium that was selected as the result of the second re-draw will be displayed (Step S107). Play The player may decide to finalize the draw result, or if they wish to draw again, they may do so. The value can be used to perform the third and subsequent redraws.

[0038] As mentioned above, the number of game media (specified number of slots) that can be secured during the re-draw is determined by the player. This is set for each slot and stored in the specified slot number management table 100c. The specified number of slots is... The number management unit 114 updates the data according to the player's game progress, etc. Alternatively, you could increase the number of available slots each time you complete a quest or other mission. Furthermore, when you consume some kind of compensation (such as an item) in the game, you will receive a reward corresponding to the value of the compensation you consumed. It may be made to increase gradually. Furthermore, information regarding the progress of these games will be available in the gameplay status. It is managed in the status management table 100a.

[0039] Furthermore, after the lottery results are announced, the decision to confirm the results or to hold a re-draw will be temporarily suspended, and a new designation will be made. After playing games to secure a spot, we will accept requests for further game selection and re-drawing. It may be done in this way. Specifically, in the holding processing unit 115, the game drawn by lottery The information of the media is retained. On the other hand, players can play game events such as quests. Players perform action I and acquire designated slots based on the results and progress. Then, the specified number of slots stored in the specified slot management table 100c is updated. The player saves For the remaining lottery results, the game media will be specified with the updated number of slots, and a re-draw will be conducted. You can request it. For example, if the original number of designated slots is "1", the player can request 1 during the redraw. You can only specify one game medium, but completing a quest while it's pending will increase the number of specified slots by one. If this is done, up to two game media can be specified. In this way, the player can After viewing the lottery results, you may be prompted to play the game to secure a specified number of slots if necessary. can.

[0040] Additionally, players will be given a common reward that can be used for both redraws and the addition of designated slots. It may be done in this way. The common cost management unit 116 stores in the common cost management table 100d. It manages the common rewards that each player possesses. Specifically, it manages the common rewards that each player possesses in one go. If a redraw or an additional designated slot is performed, a predetermined number of common considerations will be consumed.

[0041] The Common Consideration Management Unit 116 restricts the measures that players can take depending on the remaining common consideration. If this occurs, a warning message will be displayed, or certain operation buttons will be disabled. You may also do this. The following explains this using specific examples.

[0042] For example, each player is given five common rewards. (Case 1) After the initial draw, the players secured three game devices and participated in the first redraw. Therefore, since 3 common considerations were used to secure the slot and 1 common consideration was used for the redraw, the remaining common considerations There will only be one. In this case, the player can either perform a second redraw without specifying anything, or You will have to choose between either receiving the game media you won without a redraw, or not. (Case 2) After the initial draw, the players secured one game medium and participated in the first redraw. Therefore, one common consideration was used to secure the slot and another for the redraw, so the remaining common consideration is There will be 3. In this case, if the player performs a second redraw, up to 2 slots will be game media. This can be secured.

[0043] As in Case 1, when using more than a predetermined number of common considerations to secure a slot during the first redraw... If you use it, you won't be able to secure a spot in the second redraw. They warn you to use up one more slot in the first redraw, and they also ask you to press the button to request a redraw. You could also implement a system to prevent it from being pressed.

[0044] Furthermore, the number of slots used when specifying reservation depends on the attributes set for the game medium. They can be different. For example, a game medium could have five levels of attributes, from attribute 1 to attribute 5. When specifying a game medium with attribute 1, use 1 slot; for attributes 2-5, use 2-5 slots respectively. It may also be possible to make it consume. For example, if a player has 5 designated slots, the options are Specify one game medium with attribute 5, and one game medium each with attribute 1 and attribute 4. Possible patterns include specifying one attribute 1 and two attribute 2s. Only one type of game medium can be specified for sexual content, and there is a limit to the number of game mediums that can be specified for each attribute. You may also impose restrictions such as [specific restrictions].

[0045] Furthermore, the opportunity to specify securing the same game medium may be limited to only one time. That is, for example, if you do not secure the game media C1 that you won in the first lottery, then in the first re-lottery... Even if you do this and draw game media C1 again in the first redraw, the second redraw They cannot be included as a target for securing during the selection process.

[0046] Also, game media with the same attributes as the game media specified in the first re-draw will be selected in the second draw. It may be possible to prevent selection during the re-draw. In other words, the game mediums with attributes 1 to 5 can be confirmed. You may also limit the chance to keep each item to just one attempt.

[0047] Furthermore, the probability of winning for each game medium in the lottery may also be controlled. For example, the probability of winning a game item that was drawn in the initial lottery would be lowered in subsequent draws. You may do so.

[0048] Also, regarding game media that were drawn in the initial lottery but were not designated as reserved: It may be possible to lower the probability of winning during the redraw.

[0049] Furthermore, the probability of winning during the re-draw depends on which attribute of game media the player has secured. You could also change the rate for each attribute. For example, if a player has less than 4 attributes (attributes 1-3 If you do not specify a game medium, the player or the game with attribute 4 or higher (attribute 4, 5) It is thought that they want the M media, so in the redraw, the game media with attributes 4 and 5 will be selected. You could also try to increase the probability of selection.

[0050] Additionally, terminal 20 will display the most helpful information for specifying the game medium the player will be using. You can do that. For example, information about high-value game media (game media with high-value attributes). The system may also display information such as whether the player already owns the item.

[0051] As described above, according to this embodiment, when re-drawing the game medium, the player confirms Specify the game media you want to keep, and redraw any other game media. We have made it possible to redraw the target. As a result, among the winning game media, While securing the game media that Ya wants, they will redo the lottery for the other game media. It is possible.

[0052] (modified version) The following describes modifications of the present invention. In the modifications, the player ( For example, you can hold a draw once a day for several weeks. There is only one game medium. Furthermore, the attributes of the game medium drawn by lottery are limited. This is also acceptable (for example, limiting it to game media with an attribute of 5 or higher).

[0053] During the period, the lottery results will be temporarily held in abeyance, and players will always be required to keep one game device. This is possible. In other words, the player can use the game medium drawn on the day and the one drawn by the previous day. Select one of the game media you have secured and update the one game media you want to keep secured. You can continue to redraw every day while doing so. In this way, players want the game medium. You can keep drawing every day during the period until you win.

[0054] The specified period includes a lottery period (a period during which one lottery entry is possible per day) and the subsequent period for determining the game media. This includes the period during which the secured game media can be received. By logging in after the last day of the selection period and during the game media confirmation period, you can secure the game you have secured. You can obtain one medium (the last game medium you selected). Log in after the last day. You cannot use the game media until you have obtained the reserved game media. Furthermore, to distinguish between the game media currently being held and other usable game media, The display manner (design) of the medium may be changed. That is, the re-drawing unit 113 During the lottery period, each player can re-enter the lottery for designated slot 1, limited to once per day. In this case, a re-draw will be conducted, with one game medium selected by the previous day as the target for securing a prize. The display unit 112 shows one game medium newly drawn by the re-draw and one that is currently being held. The game medium is presented to terminal 20. The player chooses one of the two game mediums presented. If you select one option, the selected game media will be acquired as a new game media to be secured. It is stored in the lottery management table 100b. After the last redraw during the lottery period, the target of the lottery is... Once you select a media platform, the lottery results will be finalized.

[0055] It is not possible to finalize and acquire the game media you have secured during the lottery period. Furthermore, if you win and secure the game media you want during the lottery period, the remaining lottery period You may choose not to hold a lottery during this period.

[0056] Please note that in the re-draw section 113, you cannot win the same game medium multiple times during the drawing period. It may be controlled in a similar way. Also, the game media that can be drawn during the lottery period may be selected in advance. You could also decide on it using a dedicated table.

[0057] The above modification provides an incentive for players to log in to the game site every day. It is possible to do so. Also, after the daily drawing, the game media won up to the previous day and the one drawn today The enjoyment of deciding which game medium to choose (or keep), and the process of doing so, were shared on a posting site. It can provide the enjoyment of spreading the word through word of mouth.
