To collect game data related to the factor of a change in the number of times of great success generation or game data related to the factor of great success generation outside a game machine by providing a function for sending the state signal of a specified play generation advantaged state to the outside of the game machine.

When a game ball hit into a play area passes through a start gate and the detecting signal of an ordinary picture starting switch 6b is inputted from the side of a low-pass filter 27, based on the output from an IC 21 for important matter to a driver 26, auxiliary variable display play is performed by a variable ordinary picture display 7. When the prescribed stop display conditions for stopped picture patterns to generate great success are provided as the stop display result of this special picture pattern variable display play, the special play called great success is generated. A PACHINKO machine outputs various state signals from an external information terminal 101 to a repeater corresponding to the play state every time while performing such play control and display control.
