The part that executes the special symbol process processing shown in 5) and
With
Since the number of the advantageous state determination values is different depending on the set value, the probability of being controlled to the advantageous state is different (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-11 to 8-20, the set value is set. The part where the probability of being controlled to the jackpot game state is different due to the difference in the number of jackpot judgment values according to),
The advantageous state determination value is a common first common numerical range (for example, a range of 1020 to 1237, which is a common jackpot determination value) that is common to the set values of the plurality of stages that can be set by the setting means in a predetermined numerical range. Numerical range) is set at least,
The advantageous state determination value of the advantageous setting value is a non-common numerical range (for example, 1238 to 1238 to each setting) that is not set in the common numerical range and the advantageous state determination value of the disadvantage setting value in a predetermined numerical range. It is set including the non-common numerical range of the jackpot judgment value, which is the range up to the value according to the value.

The part where the range is set as the common numerical range of the small hit judgment value),

The number of the special state determination values is the same as the set value set by the setting means regardless of whether it is the normal state or the special state (for example, FIGS. 8-17 to 8-). As shown in 20, the numerical range of the small hit determination value is the numerical range of 1020-1346 or 1020-1674, which is the numerical range of the big hit determination value when 6 is set as the set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In a different range, if the variable special symbol is the first special symbol, 32767 is always set as the small hit reference value of 3267 to 33094 regardless of whether the set value or the gaming state is the normal state, the time saving state, or the probabilistic state. It is set as a continuous numerical range, and if the variable special symbol is the second special symbol, 32767 is always the small hit reference value regardless of whether the set value or the game state is the normal state, the time saving state, or the probabilistic state. The part set as a continuous numerical range of 3267 to 33421),
The number of the special state determination values is the same regardless of the set value set by the setting means (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-17 to 8-20, the numerical range of the small hit is If the variable special figure is the first special symbol, it is always set as a continuous numerical range of 3267 to 33094 with 32767 as the small hit reference value regardless of the set value to be set, and the variable special figure is the second. If it is a special symbol, regardless of the set value, it is always set as a continuous numerical range of 3267 to 33421 with 32767 as the small hit reference value).
When the variable display of the first identification information is executed, the special state determination means determines that the special state is controlled by the first special state determination value corresponding to the variable display of the first identification information (for example, FIG. As shown in 8-17 and 8-18, when the variable special figure is the first special symbol, the small hit game state is controlled by 328 judgment values included in the numerical range of the small hit judgment value. When the variable display of the second identification information is executed, it is determined that the special state is controlled by the second special state determination value corresponding to the variable display of the second identification information (for example, FIG. As shown in 8-19 and 8-20, when the variable special figure is the first special symbol, the small hit game state is controlled by 655 judgment values included in the numerical range of the small hit judgment value. The part to judge that),
Although the number of the first special state determination value and the second special state determination value are different, the setting having the highest probability of being controlled to the advantageous state so as to be a continuous numerical range from the common second reference value. The value is set to a range different from the range of the advantageous state determination value corresponding to the special state (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-17 to 8-20, the variable special figure is the first special symbol. In some cases, the number of judgment values included in the numerical range of the small hit judgment value is 328, and when the variable special figure is the second special symbol, the number of judgment values included in the numerical range of the small hit judgment value is 655. However, the numerical range of the small hit determination value is different from the numerical range of 1020 to 1346, which is the numerical range of the large hit determination value in the probability variation state when 6 is set as the set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the range, 32767 is set as a small hit reference value, and when the variable special figure is the first special symbol, it is set in the numerical range of 32767 to 33094, and when the variable special figure is the second special symbol, it is set to 32767 to 33421. The part that is set in the numerical range of) is characterized.
