    Patent number: 11682259
    Abstract: A technique of synchronizing a timing to display an event in a game with a beat of a sound is provided. A gaming machine includes a display, a speaker, a storage device that stores tempo data including beat information of the entire BGM and BGM sound data, and a controller connected to the display, the speaker, and the storage device. The controller starts a display of a progression of a game in the display while causing the speaker to output the BGM on the basis of the BGM sound data, determines a timing at which an event is displayed on the display on the basis of the tempo data, dynamically configures animation data so that the event is displayed at the determined timing, and causes the dynamically configured animation data to be displayed on the display.
