Abstract
A game machine according to the present invention includes claws for holding a thing. The machine also includes an acquisition detector, a closing pivotal angle controller, a continuous play controller and a playable game computer. If a player has acquired nothing from the game machine in the last game, and the detector outputs an acquisition failure signal, the angle controller increases the closing pivotal angle of the claws. If the player has acquired a thing from the machine in the last game, and the detector outputs an acquisition success signal, the angle controller decreases the pivotal angle. If the play controller outputs a continuous play signal, the game computer increases the number of playable games.
