1. A game machine comprising:
- a game execution device executing a unit game to obtain a game outcome from among predetermined game outcomes of the unit game;
an input device for inputting a predicted game outcome from among the predetermined game outcomes, before the unit game starts; and
a controller operable to;
a) control the game execution device to repeatedly execute the unit game;
b) store the predicted game outcomes for the plurality of unit games inputted by the input device, in association with the plurality of unit games, respectively;
c) store actual game outcomes obtained from the plurality of unit games, in association with the plurality of unit games, respectively;
d) determine, whether or not the predicted game outcome inputted by the input device coincides with the actual game outcome, for each of the plurality of unit games; and
e) provide an award based on the determination result.
