PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pinball game machine, even when a trouble occurs in transmission/reception of a control command, preventing a player from misunderstanding a game state in a relation between a current game state and a performance to be produced.SOLUTION: The game machine transmits a first control command including game state data information capable of identifying a game state when a variation pattern is selected (S407), selects one of variation patterns relating to variable display operations of game symbols on the basis of lottery results according to winning types and the game state data, transmits a second control command including variation pattern information (S412 and S413), on the basis of the game state data information included in the received first control command and the variation pattern information included in the second control command, determines consistency of whether or not the variation pattern is a variation pattern relating to same game state data as the game state data of the first control command (S733), and, when it is determined to be inconsistent, the game machine controls not to variably display the game symbols in a variable display mode when it is consistent therewith (NO in S752).
