To provide a game machine reducing a processing load in a main control means.

The game machine includes: reels (symbol display means); a start lever (a starting means); a main control board (a main control means) 100 performing freeze control of the reels; and a performance control board (a sub-control means) 300 for controlling performance. The main control board is configured to transmit start lever receiving commands and reel rotation start commands to the performance control board for every game. The performance control board is configured to measure time from the reception of the start lever receiving command until the reception of any of the reel rotation start commands to store the time as a first freeze time, to determine whether freeze control is performed in the main control board from the first freeze time as well as determining a freeze pattern at that time and to determine a performance pattern according to the freeze pattern to perform performance when determining that the freeze control has been performed.
