Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of suitably performing control of a game state.SOLUTION: A special pattern winning / losing lottery is executed when game balls enter a first operation hole or a second operation hole, and control is shifted to an opening / closing execution mode more advantageous to a player than a normal game state when the lottery results in a jackpot. A game machine has time-shortening game states separately from an opening / closing execution mode as a specific game state more advantageous to a player than a normal game state. The game machine also has a second time-shortening game state to be started without going though an opening / closing execution mode on the basis of arrival of the number of losing game rounds at a ceiling as a time-shortening game state. The game machine is configured so as to forcibly end a normal pattern game round during execution by determining whether the normal game round is under execution when shifting to the second time-shortening game stat from the normal game round.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
