Abstract

This invention relates to game machine apparatus having a display device and generating a special condition. In one embodiment, a game machine that varies the display content on a display device provided on a panel thereof, and generates a special condition advantageous to a player when a display result matches a predetermined condition, includes a display manager, a control device, and a special condition generating device. The display manager advances a special game and displays a successively-varying game while no pinball driven onto a panel of the game machine enters a special prize-winning port. The control device executes a one unit game from the current state of the proceeding game series and displays an execution result of the one unit game on the display device when a pinball driven onto the panel of the game machine enters the special prize-winning port. The special condition generating device generates a special condition advantageous to the player when the execution result of the one unit game meets a predetermined condition. In the above-described game machine, the control device may determine the execution result of the one unit game on the basis of a predetermined algorithm. In an alternate embodiment, the display manager displays on the display device a baseball scene viewed from behind a back net showing a pitcher who pitches at a fixed interval in a baseball field and a batter who lets a pitch go by, and also a current game status containing a strike count, a ball count, an out count, and a get-to-base condition of a runner. The control device determines one of a single-base hit, a two-base hit, a three-base hit, a home-run hit and an easy fly as the execution result of the one unit game when a pinball enters the special prize-winning port, and changes the display content to a scene depicting conditions after the batter bats a ball.
