<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine capable of preventing signals relating to the entry of game balls into a plurality of start-up holes, which are output to an external device, from overlapping and ensuring the external device to make a player know without fail the number of entries of the game balls into the start-up holes. <P>SOLUTION: The game machine is configured to include a first start-up hole and a second start-up hole, determine whether a prize has been won by the entry of a game ball into any one of the start-up holes, allow a game player to proceed to a jackpot game that is advantageous to the game player when the determination reveals that a prize was won, and output game information outside the game machine through an externally-outputting means, wherein the externally-outputting means is adapted to output a first ball-entry signal representing that a game ball has entered the first start-up hole and a second ball-entry signal representing that a game ball has entered the second start-up hole. When a game ball enters the first or second start-up hole during the output of the first or second ball-entry signal, an output delaying means is adapted to cause a subsequent signal to be output after the elapse of a given time since a preceding signal is output. Furthermore, a means for prioritizing the output of a first signal is adapted to output the first ball-entry signal preferentially. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
