GAME MACHINE

To provide a game machine capable of improving an interest in a game.SOLUTION: When winning or losing determination is conducted, the game machine conducts symbol variation and a corresponding variation performance. The game machine executes a winning game (jackpot game) when winning (jackpot) is generated, and shifts to a specific time-shortening state without intervention of the winning game (jackpot game) when specific time-shortening winning is generated. Before the completion of the variation performance, the game machine conducts a winning notice performance suggesting the degree of expectation that a result of the winning or losing determination becomes winning. The winning notice performance is considered to be started a predetermined time before the completion of the variation time of the symbol variation. Consequently, in a case where a notice that the result of the winning or losing determination is winning is not reported in the variation performance though a specific winning notice (such as a premium winning notice) is executed, possibility that the specific time-shortening winning is generated is suggested.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 44 【課題】遊技興趣を向上させることが可能な遊技機を提供すること。【解決手段】当否判定が実行されると図柄変動と、対応する変動演出を行う。当り当選（大当り当選）が発生すると当り遊技（大当り遊技）を実行し、特定時短当選が発生すると当り遊技（大当り遊技）を介さずに特定時短状態に移行する。変動演出が終了する前において当否判定の判定結果が当り当選となる期待度を示唆する当り当選予告演出を行う。当り当選予告演出は少なくとも、図柄変動の変動時間が終了する所定時間よりも前に開始されるものであり、特定の当り当選予告（例えば、プレミアムな当り当選予告）が実行されたにも関わらず変動演出で当否判定の結果が当り当選である旨が報知されなかった場合は、特定時短当選となる可能性があることを示唆するものとなる。【選択図】図４４
