Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of smoothly progressing a game.SOLUTION: Information on the difference number between the number of game values to be imparted and the number of game values to be used can be stored. When the information on the difference number reaches a predetermined number, a suppression state is entered in which control for suppressing the acquisition of game values is executed. Held ball count data can be subtracted on the basis of the operation of counting means. When the counting means is newly operated and a first time has passed since the operation state is entered, an automatic counting state is entered in which a first value is subtracted from the held ball count data every predetermined time even if the counting means is subsequently in a non-operation state. In a predetermined situation in which the held ball count data is 1 or more in the automatic counting state, when the information on the difference number reaches a predetermined number due to a game ball entering a predetermined winning port, a suppression state is entered but the automatic counting state remains.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 559
