This image display device has a main display area for variably displaying a plurality of designs (including pictures and numbers). In this main display area, the designs are variably displayed as if they are rotating at a high speed, and a predetermined time has passed. After the passage of, the symbols are displayed to temporarily stop the rotation with a time difference of several seconds for each symbol. In the main display area, the first of the plurality of symbols
After the temporary stop of the symbol, the next temporary stop symbol (second temporary stop symbol) is aligned with the first temporary stop symbol, the so-called reach state is reached, and the remaining symbols are temporarily stopped and all the symbols are aligned,
When the fixed stop state and the same kind of symbols are gathered, a big hit occurs as a game situation advantageous to the player. That is, when the symbol mode stopped in this main display area is a predetermined specific stopped symbol mode, for example, a combination of "7", "7", and "7", in the pachinko gaming machine, a pachinko ball A game situation occurs in which a large number of game balls can be acquired.

Further, if the complete stop symbols are specific symbols of the same kind determined in advance, or a combination of the specific symbols, it changes to a state in which a big jackpot is probabilistically likely to occur in a predetermined period after the end of the big jackpot. A specific game state (big hit with probability variation) or a state in which the movable winning device provided on the game board surface is changed to be advantageous to the player so that the game ball easily enters the predetermined winning opening (variable hit)
There is also a gaming machine in which the variable winning probability based on the achievement of a predetermined condition is changed to facilitate the occurrence of a specific game state or to facilitate the acquisition of payout prize balls. This state is referred to as probability variation (hereinafter, abbreviated as “probable variation”) because the probability of winning a beneficial game state is controlled.

Further, depending on the gaming machine, within a predetermined period of time, which is not the probability variation state but a predetermined useful game state, the variation time per change from the variation start to the variation end of the symbol is shortened. There is also a gaming machine having a state of shortening the result time until each lottery decision for each variable is made to be quicker, that is, a time shortening function (hereinafter, abbreviated as "time saving"). .
