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. When a small win occurs during a time-shortening game state, the time-shortening game state is completed at completion timing of a variation display of a winning game round. When state determination regarding whether a time-shortening game state is set is performed at start timing of a variation display when a type of a small win result is an advantageous small win result A, and the state determination is performed at occurrence timing of V winning in the case of advantageous small win results B, C. It is determined that a time-shortening game state is not set by the state determination in the case of the advantageous small win result A, and a time-shortening limiter value is reset.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 647
