To effectively suppress occurrence of a situation in which the frequency of falling in an advantageous game state is counted in an overlapped manner.

There is provided a game machine in which an ART signal is outputted before a mode is shifted to an ART mode, when a shift right to the ART mode is generated, on the condition of occurence of normal winning, and when promotion winning is achieved as a trigger. Accordingly, the ART signal is not outputted unless the normal winning occurs prior to the promotion winning. Therefore, at the start of the ART mode using as a trigger the promotion winning that triggers the shift to the ART mode, it is possible to control whether or not to output the ART signal by adjusting a state of establishment of the occurence of the prior promotion winning, thus effectively suppressing occurrence of a situation in which the frequency of entering the ART mode is counted in an overlapped manner.
