Description

従来、複数の設定値のうちのいずれかに設定可能であり、設定された設定値にもとづいて遊技者にとって有利な有利状態の制御を実行可能なパチンコ遊技機があった。このようなパチンコ遊技機において、設定値を確認するための設定確認処理では、実行中のメイン処理が全て終了したときにしか次の処理へ移行できなかった（例えば、特許文献１参照）。 Conventionally, there has been a pachinko gaming machine that can be set to any of a plurality of set values and can control an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player based on the set set value. In such a pachinko gaming machine, in the setting confirmation process for confirming the set value, the process can be shifted to the next process only when all the main processes being executed are completed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

With
When the set value can be set by the setting means, the information display unit can perform a special display capable of recognizing the setting state.
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,

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),
