A game machine includes, an operating portion, a signal detector, a
prompter, a determination receiver and a speed changer. The operating
portion outputs a signal in accordance with a player's operation for
proceeding a game. The signal detector detects either a consecutive
signal within a predetermined period of time or an intermittent signal
within a predetermined period of time from the operating portion. The
prompter prompts a player to determine whether to change a speed of
progress in the game when either the consecutive signal or the
intermittent signal is detected. The determination receiver receives a
player's determination regarding the change of the speed of progress in
the game. The speed changer changes the speed of progress in the game in
accordance with the player's determination when the player's
determination is received.
