many gachas have a pity system where if you roll X amount of times you can exchange some type of points for a featured character
the name comes from granblue fantasy's system, first implemented after someone dropped a couple grand in an unsuccessful attempt to nab a funny monkey
it's an excellent move for any developer, f2p people stay happy knowing they can guarantee obtaining a certain item given enough restraint (which involves actively playing the game for longer and possibly dipping into light spending, especially if they urgently need a few more rolls to reach the exchange amount) and whales can drop fat loads at once to cash in one or multiple copies of a character or equivalent
