Title: Game machine
IPC: A63F7/02
Filed: 2022-01-18
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a degree of freedom in designing a game machine. 
     SOLUTION: A prescribed reference value is set in advance as a value within a prescribed range, and conversion processing is performed to convert the reference value thus set to a discriminated value within a specific range larger than the prescribed range. Whether the discriminated value converted by the conversion processing is a specific discriminated value is discriminated, and on the basis of being discriminated as the specific discriminated value, a privilege game advantageous to a player is performed. Further, whether the reference value is a specific reference value is discriminated, and if a result of the discrimination is discriminated as not to be the specific reference value, the conversion processing is performed. On the other hand, if the result of the discrimination is discriminated as the specific reference value, special processing different from the discrimination by discrimination means is performed on the basis of the specific reference value.
