To provide a pinball game machine capable of improving fun as a performance means for a holding number reporting means.

The pinball game machine reports the increase of a holding number on the basis of the reception of a holding increase command indicating that the holding number has increased. On condition that a holding increase command is received during symbol variation by a symbol display means (S34:Yes), reporting timing of holding number increase is delayed until a predetermined reporting execution condition is established thereafter, that is, until the symbol variation is stopped for instance.
