Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of enhancing interest in a game.SOLUTION: A small win game is executed when a winning / losing lottery results in a small win, and a V big win game is executed when V winning occurs in the small win game. A game machine includes a time-shortening limiter function for limiting a shift to a time-shortening game state when the number of big win times in a time-shortening game state reaches a time-shortening limiter value. In the case of an advantageous small win result A, a time-shortening limiter value is reset, and the number of times of big wins can be won increases. In the case of advantageous small win results B, C, a time-shortening limiter value is not reset. Even if the advantageous small win result A occurs in a time-shortening game state and a blowout occurs in the small win game, the time-shortening game state is not completed. When the advantageous small win results B, C occur and a blowout occurs in the small win game, a time-shortening game state is completed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 647
