Patent ID: 7019475

Claim:
A motor stop control device for a gaming machine comprising: a motor which constitutes a drive source of a reel which is stopped in response to a manipulation command and displays a plurality of symbols; a speed reduction transmission mechanism which transmits a rotation of the motor to a rotary shaft, the rotary shaft rotating the reel at a predetermined speed reduction ratio; and a motor stop controller which, when a command for stopping the motor is generated in response to the command, selects either one of a first processing which executes a stop control with respect to the motor and a second processing which executes a control to reduce a rotational speed of the motor and executes the stop control with respect to the motor, wherein the motor has two pairs of excitation phases as the drive source of the reel, and the first processing executes the stop control based on all-phase excitation with respect to the motor and the second processing which executes the stop control based on two-phase excitation with respect to the motor.
