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. Advantageous small win results A to C are provided as a small win type. When a small win occurs during a time-shortening game state and the type becomes the advantageous small win result A, a time-shortening limiter value is reset, and the number of times of big wins that can be won continuously increases. When a small win result occurs in remaining reserved game rounds after completion of a time-shortening game state, a time-shortening limiter value is reset when the type is any one of the advantageous small win results A to C.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 647
