Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of suitably giving a notice regarding operation of the game machine.SOLUTION: In addition to collecting ball entry histories into a general winning port 61, a first operation port 62, a second operation port 63, a variable winning device 65, and an out port 68, the number of differential balls and the number of remaining balls up to the number of stop balls are derived on the basis of the collected ball entry histories, and a game state is shifted to a game stop state on the basis of the derived number of remaining balls being 0 or less. In addition, prior to the shift to the game stop state, a stop advance notice is executed to give an advance notice regarding the shift. As the stop advance notice, in an open / close execution mode, it is possible to execute a second stop advance notice in a manner different from that of a first stop advance notice which is executed not in the open / close execution mode.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
