Abstract
To provide a game machine capable of displaying shooting guidance information at an appropriate time.SOLUTION: Game balls can be separately shot into a first flow-down path and a second flow-down path of a game area in a game machine. The game machine includes a first game state in which it is recommended to shoot game balls to the first flow-down path side and a second game state in which it is recommended to shoot game balls to the second flow-down path side. The game machine can execute: a shooting guidance instruction performance that commands the shooting of game balls to the first flow-down path side when the second game state is shifted to the first game state; and a specific advance notice performance that performs a predetermined performance including a result performance that definitively notifies a player whether or not the first game state is shifted to the second game state, as an advance notice performance related to a lottery result. When the shooting guidance instruction performance and the specific advance notice performance are executed in an overlapping manner, the shooting guidance instruction performance is terminated at least before the execution of the result performance.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 64
