When a hit ball wins, the display state of the variable display device starts to change and is stopped after a certain period of time, and based on the stopped display state of the display device, the variable winning device is set to a special prize game state in which it is extremely easy to win a hit ball. There are many known pachinko gaming machines that change the number of characters.

By the way, this type of pachinko game machine does not have an opportunity to enter the special prize game state unless a hit ball enters the starting prize hole and the display state of the variable display device changes. For this reason, if the hit ball does not easily enter the starting prize opening and the number of changes in the display state is small, not only will players lose their desire to play, but the game will also become less interesting and less popular. On the other hand, if the number of times the display state changes is increased by making it easier for balls to enter the starting prize opening, a certain number of prize balls (for example, 13) will be ejected each time a prize is won. Business becomes unsustainable due to losses.

Therefore, game parlors are dealing with the above-mentioned problem by adjusting the nails every day to reduce the probability of winning a prize in the starting prize hole, but the current situation is that this does not provide sufficient satisfaction to the players. be.
