Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of enhancing an interest in a game.SOLUTION: A game machine has a time-shortening game state as a specific game state more advantageous to a player than a normal game state, and further a normal time-shortening game state and a sudden time-shortening game state as time-shortening game states. In the sudden time-shortening game state, a length of variation display time in a normal pattern game round, a behavior of a regular electric generator in an accessory opening / closing game, and the like differ from those in a normal time-shortening game state. In the sudden time-shortening game state, control is shifted without going through an opening / closing execution mode on the basis of a fact that a particular losing result occurs in a winning / losing lottery. The game machine includes means for setting, as the number of the subsequent residual rounds of the time shortening game state, one of the number of residual rounds of a normal time-shortening game state at the time and the upper-limit number of rounds of a sudden time-shortening game state corresponding to the particular losing result when the particular losing result occurs in a situation of the normal time-shortening game state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
