PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a player recognize the importance of a stop operation of a pattern variation column by urging the player to perform the stop operation under variation and to prevent the life shortening of a drive system for the variation of the pattern variation column. SOLUTION: Timing by a timer 262 is started with the operation of a start lever 354 as a starting point, and when one of reels still continues the variation even after effective variation time elapses, reporting for urging the stop of the variation is carried out. Thus, a player visually recognizes variation time from the start lever 354, variation time from the stop operation of the first time and variation time from the stop operation of the second time, and an intention to stop the variation in an early stage is aroused. By clearly reporting the variation duration to the player, forced automatic stop is justified and a claim from the player is evaded even when the forced automatic stop is carried out. Thus, such a situation that the reel continues to turn over a long period of time and loads are put on the drive system such as a motor is suppressed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
