Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine capable of giving players excitement on a process of games.SOLUTION: If a value of a lighting number counter becomes at least 3, i.e., if a reservation number of variable displays reaches at least 3 (S21), by switching on a second solenoid to advance a stopper, a second transfer passage is made closed to become a state where ball can stop and stay there (S22: Yes, S23). In this way, for example, even if the reservation number of variable displays reaches an upper limit value, players can enjoy the game by continuing a shooting of balls so as to let balls flow into the second transfer passage. Accordingly, this prevents the players from excessively concentrating only on the final game result as to whether or not the variable display becomes a specific combination of symbols. The progress of the game, namely, excitement such as whether or not the balls can stop and stay in the second transfer passage, the development of the stopped and stayed balls after they are discharged, etc., can be given to the players.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
