The continuance informing means is constituted of a lamp unit 23 provided on the upper part of each pinball game machine 1, and the lamp unit 23 is put on when a big hit is acquired by a holding pattern, and it is put off when it is acquired by a collapse pattern. In this way, it is possible to always perform appropriate judging display and to avoid various kinds of troubles.
