<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine capable of displaying a demonstration image without being immediately brought into a power saving state even when a player does not play a game, and controlling a time to start the power saving state based on a history of past operation of the game machine. <P>SOLUTION: A power-saving start period, until the start of a power-saving control state after a variation display game is not performed, is determined based on the history of past operation of the game machine. When the game machine is in the power-saving control state, it is assumed that a game parlor has fewer players at current time referring to the history at a time substantially corresponding to the current time, and the power-saving start period is reduced to advance the start of the power-saving control state. When the game machine is not in the power-saving control state, it is assumed that the game parlor has more players at current time, and the power-saving start time is extended to delay the start of the power-saving control state. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT</p> |
