To allow the number of possible games to be useful information by considering a game specification and a ball discharge rate when the number of the subsequent possible games is announced to a player as the game information, based on the number of collection of game media.
The real number of the possible games X is simply calculated, based on the number of credits and the number of the game media for one game, and further, a possible game prediction value Y is calculated based on the characteristic of a palot (Pachinko-slot game) machine 300, based on the past ball discharge rate. Then, one of the both is displayed. The ball discharge rate for obtaining the possible game prediction value Y is calculated, based on a past game state (the rate of the number of putting-out media to the number of thrown-in media). The sampling period of the game is shifted at every game in response to the advance of the game. Thus, the ball discharge rate is normally calculated from the latest game state.
