The present invention provides a game machine provided with a stage which has a treading surface on which a plurality of play regions are set so as to be displaced from each other in a front and rear direction, that is a direction facing a display device, and are set as ranges where at least one player should perform dance steps on each range, and a step command device which commands the player step positions at which the player should tread in each of the play regions, with the step positions being changed in association with progress of a game, and being commanded through the display device in a distinguished manner for each of the play regions.
1. A game machine comprising:
a stage having a treading surface on which a plurality of play regions are set so as to be displaced from each other in a front and rear direction that is a direction facing a display device, each play region being set as a range where at least one player should perform steps of a dance, and each play region being dedicated to a corresponding one of a plurality of players; and
a step command device which commands the player step positions at which the player should tread in each of the play regions, with the step positions being changed in association with progress of a game, and being commanded through the display device in a distinguished manner for the corresponding one of the plurality of players for each of the play regions.
2. The game machine according to claim 1 , wherein a mirror is provided so as to face the player.
