A gaming machine includes two persistent random access memory sections. The tree assembly includes an upper tree module, a lower tree module, and a choke bridge module. The other end is attached to one end of a guide member; the other end of the guide being attached to a ball that creates a tension during a simulated throw. The drive belt frictionally engages the underside of a bottom sheet of the stack and urges the sheet towards the gate. With respect to elements to which a HIGH voltage is applied for a long time, a plurality of elements are connected parallel to each other and are controlled such that at least any one of the plurality of elements is driven by a switching element, and a period during which the element is not driven is set longer than a frame display period. Optionally, a color fixative may be included.
