In these games, there are usually numerous characters, cards, or other items that players can obtain, and most of them are only obtainable via a "gacha" mechanism.[3] This allow players to "pull" or "spin" the gacha (analogous to a slot machine or roulette wheel) using a specific amount of in-game currency, which will then give the player a randomized character, card, or other item.[3] Sometimes, these gacha are limited, such that specific prizes can only be obtained within a specific event time-frame.[3] Because some of the rewards have a lower chance to appear, typically players must spin the gacha many times before they get their desired outcome.[3] Other gacha models use a pity system: that is, if after a certain number of pulls the player does not receive an item, then the following pull will be guaranteed that item. Soft pity increases the probability slightly of getting a rare item with every pull, counting up and recalculating the probability until the rare item is received, while hard pity uses a counter to keep track of the number of pulls and automatically dispense the rare item after reaching a preset number.
