    Gacha comes from the Japanese capsule toy vending machines that give out a random prize for money, very popular with children.

    A Gacha game lets you buy loot boxes which provide playable characters and gear randomly, and tend to feature a gameplay loop designed to tempt you into paying real money for those boxes.
