The effect is controlled so that the gacha character C blinks according to the tap operation.

In this way, the effect provided to the user terminal 30 when executing the gacha is controlled so as to follow the operation input to the user terminal 30 by the user 2, so that the interaction between the user 2 and the effect can be achieved. It will be realized.

Therefore, since the effect when executing the gacha does not become monotonous, it is possible to improve the user's interest in the game. In addition, when executing the gacha, the user terminal 3
The relationship between the control of the effect provided to 0 and the operation input to the user terminal 30 is not limited to the above example. For example, when the swing motion, the tilt motion, and the tap motion are input as the user motion information D3, the changes in the effect may be the same. At least, the effect provided to the user terminal 30 when executing the gacha may change depending on whether or not the user operation information D3 is input.

Subsequently, in step S23, the preset operation of the user 2 is the user operation information D.
If it is input as 3, for example, if the tilting motion is input after the swinging motion, or if the swinging motion is continuously input for 30 seconds, in step S24.
Controls the object given to the player.

In the present embodiment, for example, arbitrary control such as changing the object itself given by the gacha, changing the grade of the given object, or changing the number of given objects is executed.

After controlling the object and giving it to the player, the gacha is ended in step S25, and the game is subsequently advanced.

On the other hand, in step S23, the preset operation of the user 2 is the user operation information D3.
If is not input, the gacha is ended in step S25, and the game is continued.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the above embodiment, when the swinging motion, the tilting motion, or the tap motion is input to the user terminal 30 as the user motion information D3, the effect provided when the lottery system (gacha) is executed is controlled. As described above, the effect may be controlled based on various actions such as stroking the user terminal 30.

In the above embodiment, an example in which a gacha is adopted as a lottery system has been described, but the type of the lottery system is not particularly limited as long as it provides objects randomly used in the game, and any lottery system can be used. Can be adopted.

In the above embodiment, the case where the gacha character C is controlled to execute the operation that follows the operation mode of the user 2 has been described, but the effect that does not follow the operation mode of the user 2 may be executed. good. For example, various effects such as changing the character, changing the background image of the gacha screen IF, and changing the BGM may be executed based on the operation of the user 2. Further, a plurality of effects may be combined, such as performing an effect that does not follow the operation mode of the user 2 after the effect that follows the operation mode of the user 2. Further, regardless of the type of operation mode of the user 2 (swinging operation, tilting operation, tapping operation), the effect may be controlled only based on the presence or absence of the operation.

In the above embodiment, the case where the object controlled by the object control unit 41c controls the object given by the gacha has been described, but the effect (for example, the effect following the operation mode of the user, the user's effect) without providing the object control unit 41c has been described. It may be the one that controls the effect) that does not follow the operation mode. That is, the operation of the user 2 such as the swing operation, the tilt operation, or the tap operation with respect to the user terminal 30 may not affect the control of the object given by the lottery, but may affect only the control of the effect.
