Game machine, game control method, and computer readable storage medium

A game control method for making a computer of a game machine function, the game machine comprising:

• a lottery mechanism where a plurality of pockets, each of the plurality of pockets being correlated to at least one choice out of a plurality of choices, are provided in order to select the at least one choice, and a lottery is executed in such a way that by making a game body enter any one of the plurality of pockets, the at least one choice correlated to the pocket is selected;
• a discharging mechanism which discharges at least one game body to the lottery mechanism;
• and an end pocket provided in the lottery mechanism and correlated to a choice which ends the lottery, wherein
• the game control method making the computer execute a discharging control step of controlling the discharging mechanism so that at least one game body is discharged to the lottery mechanism as one lottery unit, and in the discharging control step, further execute a continuous discharging control step of controlling the discharging mechanism so that the at least one game body is discharged continuously to repeat the lottery by the lottery unit, as long as a predetermined end condition is not established, and
• in the discharging control step, the predetermined end condition is that the game body enters the end pocket,
• before starting a game including the repeating of the lottery, correlating the end pocket to the choice and distinguishing the end pocket in appearance from other pockets, and
• ending the game when the game body enters the end pocket.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program for making a computer of a game machine function, the game machine comprising:

• a lottery mechanism where a plurality of pockets, each of the plurality of pockets being correlated to at least one choice out of a plurality of choices, are provided in order to select the at least one choice, and a lottery is executed in such a way that by making a game body enter any one of the plurality of pockets, the at least one choice correlated to the pocket is selected;
• a discharging mechanism which discharges at least one game body to the lottery mechanism;
• and an end pocket provided in the lottery mechanism and correlated to a choice which ends the lottery, wherein
• the computer program makes the computer function as a discharging control device which is configured to control the discharging mechanism so that at least one game body is discharged to the lottery mechanism as one lottery unit, and further makes the computer as the discharging control device function as a continuous discharging control device which is configured to control the discharging mechanism so that the at least one game body is discharged continuously to repeat the lottery by the lottery unit, as long as a predetermined end condition is not established
• the predetermined end condition is that the game body enters the end pocket, and
• the end pocket is correlated to the choice and distinguished in appearance from other pockets before starting a game including the repeating of the lottery, and the discharging control device ends the game when the game body enters the end pocket.
