To provide a game machine that can prevent a player's excessive speculative spirit from being aroused by providing an upper limit to the number of continued game rounds in an AT state and has fun regarding continuation of an advantageous section for permitting the AT state.SOLUTION: In a slot machine, an advantageous section continuation lottery is held when CZ is completed or an AT period is completed, and an advantageous section continues basically when the lottery is won. When the advantageous section continuation lottery is won, a scenario regarding the number of continuation games during the AT period and the number of cancellation games until control is shifted to a CZ preparation state are determined. In this case, when a scenario having a high degree of expectation toward continuation of the AT period is determined, the advantageous section is completed forcibly even if the advantageous section continuation lottery is won when the number of remaining games up to the upper limit of the advantageous section is equal to or less than a predetermined value. In the meantime, when a scenario having a low degree of expectation toward continuation of the AT period is determined, the advantageous section continues without any forced completion even if the number of remaining games is the predetermined value.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 14 【課題】ＡＴ状態の継続ゲーム数に上限を設けることで遊技者に過度の射幸心を煽るのを防止しつつ、ＡＴ状態が許容される有利区間の継続に関してより面白みがある遊技機を提供する。【解決手段】スロットマシンは、ＣＺが終了したときやＡＴ期間が終了したときに、有利区間継続抽選が行われ、当該抽選に当選すると基本的に有利区間が継続する。また、有利区間継続抽選に当選した場合は、ＡＴ期間の継続ゲーム数に関わるシナリオと、ＣＺ準備状態に移行するまでの解除ゲーム数が決定される。ここで、ＡＴ期間の継続期待度が高いシナリオに決定された場合に、有利区間の上限までの残りゲーム数が所定値以下の場合には有利区間継続抽選に当選した場合であっても、強制的に有利区間を終了させる。一方、ＡＴ期間の継続期待度が低いシナリオに決定された場合は、残りゲーム数が前記所定値であっても強制終了はなく、当該有利区間を継続する。【選択図】図１４
