Abstract

To improve conditions under which a suppression function operates and performance of the suppression function so that a problem does not occur for both a player and a game parlor.SOLUTION: A game machine includes a predetermined storage area capable of storing information. Difference number data regarding the maximum difference number after the power is supplied can be stored, using the number obtained by subtracting the number of game balls shot from the number of game values imparted as the difference number. When the difference number data reaches a predetermined number, the game machine may become to be in a suppression state in which a game does not proceed. The predetermined storage area stores at least predetermined information regarding the difference number data and specific information regarding a game state on the basis of the difference number data. In the predetermined storage area, the specific information is stored at a higher address than the predetermined information.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 481

Claims

[Claim 1] A first control means is provided, The first control means is capable of executing a specific process that is repeatedly executed, A notification means capable of notifying information; A winning hole through which game balls can enter Equipped with A difference data on an increase from a reference state where the difference between the number of game values ​​to be awarded and the number of game values ​​to be used after the power is turned on is the smallest is stored; When the difference data reaches a predetermined number, a suppression state in which the game is not allowed to proceed is set, The initial value of the difference data is 0.
