To provide a game machine provided with a specific game state, in which gambling performance is restricted without deteriorating fun of a game.

A second start hole is almost closed in a normal game state, and it opens in the specific game state, so that a game ball enters it easily. As a game ball enters the second start hole, a lottery is performed. When a big win is won, a big win game is carried out, in which a special variable winning device opens. The number of game balls entering the special variable winning device during the big win game is counted by a counting means. The counting means accumulates and counts the number of entering game balls during a plurality of the big win games. When the count exceeds a set value, the game state after completion of the big win games is necessarily set for the normal game state.
