Gacha mechanics

Gacha mechanics are a game design system where players spend in-game currency—often earned or purchased—to randomly obtain characters, items, or upgrades. Think of it like a digital fortune wheel or capsule toy vending machine: each "pull" offers a chance at different prizes, with varying probabilities. This system encourages repeated attempts to collect rare or powerful assets, adding an element of luck and excitement. Gacha mechanics are common in mobile games and are designed to engage players through anticipation while often integrating monetization strategies.
