In addition, when the number of reserved memories reaches the upper limit, even if a predetermined variable display is finished, the reserved memories are not stored until the next variable display is started, so the gradual change for the new reserved memories is not executed, and the player can focus on the variable display result of the finished variable display, and the reserved display newly stored during the specific period from the start of the variable display to the movement of the reserved display position is displayed at the display position of the movement destination from the beginning, so there is no need to change the gradual change to a completed state, and the gradual change can be shown to the player. In addition, even if the reserved display that has already been displayed at the predetermined number is superimposed on the reserved display that is newly displayed at the predetermined number when the reserved display that has already been displayed moves, the display area used by the newly displayed reserved display is wider, so the newly displayed reserved display is easy to see and misrecognition can be prevented. Furthermore, even if the timing is such that the new display of the reserved display is superimposed on the reserved display that is already displayed, the display area used for the gradual change of the new reserved display is wider, so the player can recognize the reserved memory.
