Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of increasing a player's interest in a game.SOLUTION: On the basis of a fact that determination is executed for a specific number of times in a first game state in which determination is more likely to be executed when a game ball is shot in a first direction than in a second direction, a second game state is set in which determination is more likely to be executed when a game ball is shot in the second direction than the first direction. After the first game state is started, rather than continuing to play a game in a first game method of shooting a game ball in the first direction, switching from the first game method to a second game method in a predetermined game round tends to lengthen the period until the next privilege game is executed, and tends to increase the number of game balls to be discharged without satisfying a predetermined putout condition. When a specific determination result is obtained in the first game state, a first privilege game may be executed. Thereby, a player's interest in a game can be increased.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
