GAME MACHINE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine capable of enhancing the game properties by varying the degree of expectancy for a winning combination without reducing the probability of selection of any winning combinations. SOLUTION: A lottery for selecting a single or a plurality of minor or major winning combinations is executed according to a starting command, and the variable display of symbols is started in a display window 314. After the variable display is stopped based on a stopping command, if the display in the display window 314 is in a predetermined display state, the selected winning combinations are won. If a major winning combination is won in a regular game in which a lottery with a plurality of patterns of winning combinations to be simultaneously selected is executed, a bonus game is executed, and the probability of selecting a Replay winning combination is drastically increased from that in the regular game in a Replay time after the bonus game is terminated. At the time, the balance of the numbers α and β of random numbers assigned to the simultaneously selected areas No. 3 and No. 5 is changed from that in the regular game without changing the probability of selection of winning combinations other than the Replay combination and without changing the pattern of winning combinations to be simultaneously selected.
