The reel unit 5 performs variable display of pattern columns and stops the pattern columns on display lines 4a to 4e. The start lever 6 starts variable display of the pattern columns. When a player performs tilt operation of the respective lever type stop switches 7L, 7C, and 7R in a vertical or horizontal direction, or performs pressing operation in the axial direction, a stop signal is outputted to stop the pattern columns in variable display.
