When the variable display of the number of reserved memories N is finished and a new reserved memory is stored immediately after the next variable display is started, the reserved display is started in the start state at the reserved display position corresponding to the Nth number, and is changed stepwise from the start state to the plurality of intermediate states, and then changed to the completion state, and the reserved display is displayed by executing this change over the predetermined period, During the execution of the variable display of the number of reserved memories at 0, which is a variable display when reserved memories are not stored, When the period until the variable display when the number of reserved memories is 0 is completed is longer than the predetermined period, if a new reserved memory is stored, the reserved display is started in the start state at the reserved display position corresponding to the next variable display, and is gradually changed from the start state to the plurality of intermediate states, and then changed to the completion state, and the reserved display is displayed by executing this change over the predetermined period; When the period until the end of the variable display when the number of pending memories is 0 is shorter than the predetermined period, and when a new pending memory is stored not immediately before the end of the variable display when the number of pending memories is 0, the pending display is started in the start state at the pending display position corresponding to the next variable display, and is changed from the start state to an intermediate state different from the pre-completion state, and when the timing comes for the start of the next variable display in a situation where the intermediate state is different from the pre-completion state, the pending display is changed to the completion state based on that timing and displayed, When the period until the end of the variable display when the number of reserved memories is 0 is shorter than the predetermined period, and when a new reserved memory is stored just before the end of the variable display when the number of reserved memories is 0, the reserved display is started in the start mode at the reserved display position corresponding to the next variable display, and when the timing comes for the start of the next variable display in the situation where the display is in the start mode, the reserved display is changed to the completion mode based on the timing and displayed; When a new reserved memory is stored immediately after the reserved memory number 0 time variable display is completed, the reserved display is displayed in the reserved display position corresponding to the next variable display of the reserved memory number 0 time variable display from the completion mode, A display area used for changing the hold display from the start mode to the plurality of intermediate modes in a stepwise manner and then to the completion mode is larger than a display area used for displaying the hold display during a period from when the hold display is displayed in the completion mode to when the hold shift start timing is reached. It is characterized by the following. According to this feature, if a reserved memory stored during a variable display until the start of the next variable display is still in an incomplete state at the start of the variable display, it is changed to a completed state, thereby preventing any subsequent movement of the reserved display position and preventing misconception of the number of reserved memories. Furthermore, by distinguishing whether or not a change to a completed state occurs depending on whether the period until the start of the next variable display is longer or shorter than a predetermined period, the player can be shown the number of reserved memories and the gradual change when a new reserved memory is stored. Furthermore, by distinguishing between immediately before and immediately after the start of the next variable display, the gradual change when a new reserved memory is stored can be more clearly shown to the player. Furthermore, when the number of reserved memories is 0, if a new reserved memory is stored within the predetermined period before the start of the next variable display, the gradual change when the new reserved memory is stored is changed to a completed state, thereby preventing any movement of the reserved display position and preventing misconception of the number of reserved memories, even when the number of reserved memories is 0. Furthermore, when the number of reserved memories reaches the upper limit, even if a predetermined variable display ends, the reserved memories are not stored until the next variable display begins, so gradual changes for new reserved memories are not performed, allowing the player to focus on the variable display results of the completed variable display. Newly stored reserved memories during the specific period from the start of the variable display until the reserved display position moves are displayed at the new display position from the beginning, so there is no need to change the gradual changes to a completed state, allowing the player to see the gradual changes. Furthermore, even if a reserved display that was already displayed at a predetermined number moves and a new reserved display that is displayed at the predetermined number overlaps it, the newly displayed reserved display uses a larger display area, making it easier to see and preventing misidentification. Furthermore, even if a new reserved display overlaps an already displayed reserved display, the display area used for the gradual change of the new reserved display is larger, so the player can recognize the reserved memory.

This prevents subsequent movement of the reserved display position and prevents misidentification of the number of reserved memories. Furthermore, by distinguishing whether or not the change to a completed state occurs when the period until the start of the next variable display is longer or shorter than a predetermined period, the player can be shown a gradual change in the number of reserved memories and the storage of new reserved memories. Furthermore, by distinguishing between immediately before and immediately after the start of the next variable display, the player can be shown a gradual change when a new reserved memory is stored more effectively. Furthermore, by executing the variable display of specific identifiers and then starting the specific display on the presentation control means, multiple means can be used to recognize that the variable display has started in response to the gaming medium passing through the start area. Among these, by starting the display of the specific display corresponding to the variable display between the time when the variable display of specific identifiers becomes the initial state and the time when it becomes the final state, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling as if only the variable display of specific identifiers is being performed, thereby providing a more comfortable gaming environment.
