Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of enhancing interest in a game.SOLUTION: A game machine has a time shortening game state separate from an opening / closing execution mode as a specific game state more advantageous to a player than a normal game state. As the time shortening game state, the game machine has a sudden time shortening game state to which the game state is shifted when a result of a special symbol winning lottery proves to be a special losing result. When the special losing result is brought about in the time shortening game state, the shift to the sudden time shortening game state is reserved, and when a predetermined condition is established later, the shift is executed to the sudden time shortening game state that has been reserved. The remaining number of times of game rounds in the sudden time shortening game state when the shift is executed differs depending on at which timing in the time shortening game state the special losing result is brought about.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
