ABSTRACT:
In a game machine, game result conditions may be randomly selected for a predetermined number of games among a plurality of given game result conditions and a demonstration may be made to provide a player of the game with a feeling of higher probability of winning a prize in the game when the randomly selected game result conditions include a given specific game result condition. The demonstration may be made by a variety of possible techniques, including using a flashing light or changing the volume or tone of a sound. Random numbers may be sampled in advance for random selection of game result conditions for the current game and for one or more games that will follow the current game, i.e., ranging several games down from the current game. These random numbers may be used to determine whether or not a demonstration should be made in the current game. As a result, more games will have demonstrations than in existing games, in which only the current games status can be considered, and more effective demonstrations may be made to enhance a player's interest in playing more games.
