The screen sc5 shown in FIG. 6 is an example of a game medium selection screen. The screen sc5 includes information inf3 regarding a plurality of game media that can be selected by the user.

<Flow of operation of game system 1>
The flow of a series of operations of the game system 1 at the start of the first game of the user will be described with reference to FIG. 7.

A login request is transmitted from the game device 5 to the server device 2. When the server device 2 receives the login request (YES in step st11), the server device 2 performs a login process (step st12). In the login process, the game data is transmitted from the server device 2 to the game device 5 by authenticating the account information. In step St12, the game is installed in the game device 5 before the start of the first game.

Next, the determination means 232 of the server device 2 determines whether or not the game started by the user is the first time (step st13). If the determination means 232 does not determine that the game is the first game (NO in step st13), the processes from step st14 to step st24 are not performed, and the game shifts to the normal game mode. When the determination means 232 determines that the game is the first game (YES in step st13), the following mode selection process is performed (step st14).

In the mode selection process, the mode selection means 234 of the server device 2 transmits a signal for allowing the user to select the first mode and the second mode to the game device 5. The game device 5 that has received this signal displays a mode selection screen on the display 61 as shown in FIG. The user selects one of the first mode execution icon ic1 and the second mode execution icon ic2 using the touch pad 63.

-First mode-
When the first mode is selected (YES in step st15), the first mode is started (step st16). In the first mode, the gacha is restricted in a predetermined limited period (for example, 10 days), and after this limited period, it can be said that the user can acquire the game medium desired by the user in return for the gacha restriction.

When the first mode is started, the lottery is restricted (strictly prohibited) by the limiting means 235 until 10 days, which is the time limit, has elapsed from the start time of the first mode. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the gacha execution icon ic4 is grayed out on the display 61. Therefore, the user cannot select the gacha execution icon ic4 and cannot shift to the gacha mode.

During the first mode, the game device 5 that has received the signal of the period display means 236 displays the remaining time (inf2) on the display 61 (step st18). Therefore, the user can know how long it will take for the gacha restriction to be lifted and the desired game medium to be obtained.

After that, when the restriction period elapses (YES in step st19), the gacha restriction by the restriction means 235 is released (step st20). As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the grayout of the gacha execution icon ic4 is canceled on the display 61. Therefore, the user can select the gacha execution icon ic4 and execute the lottery in the gacha mode.

When the time limit has elapsed (YES in step st19), the game medium selection means 237 performs a process of causing the user to select an arbitrary game medium (step st21). Specifically, the game medium selection means 237 of the server device 2 transmits a signal for imparting an arbitrary game medium to the user to the game device 5. Upon receiving this signal, the game apparatus 5 displays a game medium selection screen on the display 61 as shown in FIG. The user selects a desired game medium (for example, a character) using the touchpad 63. The game medium that can be selected by the user includes a character having the highest rank of rarity.

When the user selects a predetermined game medium in step st21, the granting means 238 associates the game medium selected by the user with the identification information of the user (step st22). As a result, any game medium is given to the user. This game medium is provided to the user free of charge, not subject to payment of in-game currency.

As described above, in the first mode, a desired game medium is given to the user in return for limiting the gacha in a predetermined period.

-Second mode-
When the first mode is not selected and the second mode is selected (NO in step st15) in the mode selection screen described above, the second mode is started (step st23). In the second mode, the limiting means 235 allows the lottery by the lottery means 233 (step st24). In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, the gacha execution icon ic4 on the display 61 is not grayed out. Therefore, the user can select the gacha execution icon ic4.

When the game shifts to the gacha mode during the second mode, the user is given the opportunity of free gacha on condition that the user has started a predetermined game (YES in step St13). The lottery means 233 associates the game medium selected by the lottery with the identification information without the condition of payment of the in-game currency. Therefore, the user can acquire the game medium free of charge by lottery without limiting the gacha in a predetermined period.

Summarizing the above, the present invention defines the control unit 23 (computer) of the server device 2 of the game system 1 as a lottery means 233 that associates the game medium with the user's identification information by lottery, and the user from the start of the first game. It is a game program that functions as a limiting means 235 that limits the lottery of the lottery means 233 until the period elapses, and as a giving means that associates a predetermined game medium with the identification information after the predetermined period elapses.

<Effect of invention>
According to the present embodiment, in the first mode, the limiting means 235 limits the lottery of the lottery means 233 for a predetermined period. The granting means 238 associates the identification information with the predetermined game medium after the elapse of the predetermined period. Therefore, in the first mode, a predetermined game medium can be obtained in return for the user to endure the gacha in the predetermined period.

In this case, the user can finally obtain the game medium after waiting for a predetermined period (for example, 10 days). Therefore, the user's willingness to run the reset marathon can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to suppress an increase in the load on the server device 2 due to a large number of users performing a reset marathon.

In addition, the user can obtain a predetermined game medium after a predetermined period has elapsed. Therefore, the user can be satisfied.

In the first mode, the limiting means 235 prohibits the lottery by the lottery means 233. Therefore, in the first mode, it is possible to reliably prevent the user from drawing lots within a predetermined period.

The mode selection means 234 causes the user to select a first mode and a second mode. When the user selects the first mode, as described above, the load on the server device 2 can be reduced and the user can be satisfied. When the user selects the second mode, the lottery by the lottery means 233 is not restricted, and the user can immediately perform the lottery.

In the first mode, the granting means 238 associates the game medium selected by the game medium selecting means 237 with the identification information. Therefore, the user can select and acquire the game medium he / she wants. Therefore, the user can be fully satisfied.

[Modified example of the embodiment]
In the above-described embodiment, the configuration of the modification described below may be used.

-Modification example 1-
In the first modification shown in FIG. 8, the user is not given an opportunity to select the first mode and the second mode at the start of the game. In this configuration, when it is determined that the first game has started (YES in step st13), the lottery of the lottery means 233 is restricted (step st17). Also in this configuration, the reset marathon can be suppressed and the user can be satisfied.

-Modification example 2-
In the modification 2 shown in FIG. 9, the limiting means 235 permits the lottery of the lottery means 233 in the predetermined period, while when the lottery means 233 is drawn in the predetermined period, the game medium to the identification information by the giving means 238 is used. Limit the mapping.

Specifically, the limiting means 235 permits the lottery of the lottery means 233 at the start of the first game (step st31). After that, when the predetermined time elapses (YES in step St19), the limiting means 235 determines whether or not the lottery means 233 has been drawn during the limited period (step St32).

If there is no lottery for the lottery means 233 during the limited period (YES in step St32), the granting means 238 grants a predetermined game medium to the user's identification information (step St33). The game medium given here includes a game medium that can be arbitrarily selected by the user, interest given to the in-game currency owned by the user, the above-mentioned fixed gacha ticket, and the like.

When there is a lottery of the lottery means 233 during the limited period (NO in step St32), the limiting means 235 limits the association of the game medium with the identification information by the granting means 238 (step St34). "Restricting the correspondence of game media" here means 1) no game medium is given to the user, and 2) the value of the game medium given to the user in step St34 rather than the game medium given to the user in step St33. Including, lowering.

As described above, in the second modification, the user's lottery during the limited period can be restricted by reducing the user's motivation for the lottery during the limited period.

-Modification example 3-
In the modification 3 shown in FIG. 10, the game medium selection means 237 causes the user to select a game medium at the start of the game, and the limiting means 235 has a length of a predetermined period according to the game medium selected by the game medium selection means 237. Determine the size.

In this configuration, when it is determined that the first game has started (YES in step st13), the game medium selection means 237 causes the user to select an arbitrary game medium (step st21). Parameters such as selection ratio, popularity, and rarity are set in the game medium to be selected. The limiting means 235 determines the length of the limiting period according to the game medium selected by the game medium selecting means 237. For example, since it is difficult to obtain a game medium with a low selection ratio, the restriction period is relatively long. On the contrary, since the game medium having a high selection ratio is easily available, the restriction period is relatively short.

After that, when the limiting period determined by the limiting means 235 elapses, in step st22, the game medium selected by the user is associated with the identification information corresponding to the user.

As described above, in the modified example 3, the value of the game medium obtained after that is increased by the period during which the user endures the lottery. Therefore, even if the user endures the lottery for a relatively long time, the user can be sufficiently satisfied.

-Modification example 4-
After the series of processes shown in FIG. 7 of the embodiment is completed, the lottery means 233 may be used to give an opportunity for free gacha. In this case, the user may run a reset marathon until he / she obtains a desired game medium with this free gacha. In order to suppress this reset marathon, other identification information different from the user's identification information may be confirmed before using the free gacha. As other identification information, for example, identification information used for SMS (trademark registration), twitter (trademark registration), facebook (trademark registration), google (trademark registration), my number (trademark registration) and the like can be used. ..

When the user uses the free gacha, the lottery means 233 gives the user an opportunity for the free gacha, subject to confirmation of the other identification information described above. Here, the other identification information is stored in the storage unit 22 of the server device 2. If the user reinstalls the game and tries to use the free gacha based on the same other identification information, the limiting means 235 prohibits the free gacha (lottery by the lottery means 233). As a result, the user's reset marathon can be reliably prevented.

[Other embodiments]
The various control means and processing procedures described in the embodiments and modifications are examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention, its applications, or its uses.

In the embodiment, the limiting means 235 limits the lottery of the lottery means 233 until the tying in which the user logs in to the game for the first time is the start of the game and a predetermined period elapses from the start of the tying. The start of this game may be at the following timings.

1) Timing when the first execution of the game program is started 2) After the first execution of the game program is started, the opening of the game (a state in which a movie or the like is displayed on the display 61 and cannot be operated by the user) Timing to end 3) Timing to end the game tutorial (the state where the game flow and operation explanation are displayed on the display Article 61) after the first execution of the game program is started.

In the embodiment, the granting means 238 may associate another game medium with the identification information after the lapse of the limited period. Other game media may include at least one fixed gacha ticket, quest ticket, and in-game currency. The confirmed gacha ticket is, for example, a ticket that reliably grants a highly rare game medium to the user by lottery. A quest ticket is a ticket that gives a user an opportunity to challenge a predetermined quest even if the conditions for generating the quest are not satisfied.

In the above embodiment, the predetermined period in which the lottery of the lottery means 233 is restricted may be not the actual time but the time when the user has played the game, or the in-game time which changes as the game progresses. You may.

In the above embodiment, the limiting means 235 prohibits the lottery of the lottery means 233 by graying out the gacha execution icon. However, the limiting means 235 may prohibit the lottery of the lottery means 233 by limiting the in-game currency required for the lottery of the lottery means 233. Specifically, the lottery means 233 sets, for example, the in-game currency to zero during the limited period. In this case, the user cannot pay the consideration for the lottery means 233 even if the user shifts to the gacha mode. As a result, the lottery of the lottery means 233 is prohibited.
